Etorix 120Mg Tablets 20’s

Etorix 120mg Tablets (20’s) – Pain Relief for Arthritis, Gout & Inflammation

Etorix 120mg Tablets contain etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is designed to provide powerful relief from pain and inflammation while minimizing stomach irritation compared to older NSAIDs.

Etorix is commonly prescribed for:

• Rheumatoid arthritis – reduces joint pain, swelling, and stiffness
• Osteoarthritis – relieves chronic joint pain and improves mobility
• Ankylosing spondylitis – eases spinal inflammation and stiffness
• Acute musculoskeletal pain – short-term relief from conditions such as acute gout attacks or post-surgical pain

By blocking the COX-2 enzyme, Etorix helps reduce the production of prostaglandins—chemicals responsible for pain, redness, and swelling.

Each pack contains 20 tablets of 120mg etoricoxib.
