Etorix 60mg Tablets (40’s) – Etoricoxib for Arthritis, Joint & Back Pain Relief
Etorix 60mg Tablets (40’s) contain etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) designed to provide effective long-term relief from chronic pain and inflammation.
This medication is commonly prescribed for:
- Osteoarthritis – reduces joint stiffness and pain
- Rheumatoid arthritis – relieves inflammation and swelling
- Ankylosing spondylitis – eases spinal pain and stiffness
- Chronic back or joint pain – improves mobility and daily comfort
Unlike traditional NSAIDs, Etorix is formulated to target pain and inflammation while lowering the risk of gastrointestinal irritation. It works by blocking the COX-2 enzyme, which is responsible for pain signals and swelling.
Etorix is a doctor-prescribed treatment and should only be used under medical supervision.
