Etoriax
Etoricoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily to relieve pain and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as arthritis, providing effective relief from joint pain and stiffness. The medication works by selectively inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme, reducing the production of prostaglandins which are responsible for pain and swelling. Etoricoxib is available in tablet form, allowing for convenient oral administration. It is typically taken once daily, offering sustained relief throughout the day. This medication is recognized for its targeted action, minimizing gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional NSAIDs. Etoricoxib is a preferred choice for those seeking effective management of chronic pain conditions.Active substance:
