Etorix 90mg Tablets (30’s) – Etoricoxib for Arthritis, Back Pain & Inflammation Relief
Etorix 90mg Tablets contain etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor belonging to the NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) class. This medicine is specially designed to relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness caused by musculoskeletal conditions while reducing the risk of stomach irritation compared to traditional NSAIDs.
Etorix is commonly prescribed for:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Severe osteoarthritis
- Chronic lower back pain
- Short-term management of acute musculoskeletal pain
How it works: Etoricoxib blocks the COX-2 enzyme, reducing the production of prostaglandins—chemicals that trigger pain and inflammation.
With its once-daily dosing, Etorix offers convenient and effective pain management, improving mobility and quality of life for those with long-term joint or back conditions.
