Etorelex
Etoralex, containing the active ingredient Etoricoxib, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) specifically designed to relieve pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It works by selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which plays a crucial role in the production of inflammatory mediators in the body. Etoralex provides targeted relief without affecting COX-1, thereby minimizing gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with traditional NSAIDs. This medication is available in tablet form, making it convenient to incorporate into daily routines. Etoralex is suitable for individuals seeking effective management of chronic pain conditions. Its targeted action ensures relief from discomfort while maintaining an active lifestyle.Active substance:
