Composition

Each film-coated tablet contains:

Mechanism of Action

Etoricoxib selectively inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is responsible for the production of prostaglandins that mediate pain, inflammation, and swelling. By blocking COX-2, it reduces pain and inflammation while sparing COX-1, which helps protect the stomach lining, thereby lowering the risk of gastric irritation.
