Coxia Tablet contains Etoricoxib 60 mg, a selective COX-2 inhibitor that belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is primarily used to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute musculoskeletal pain. By selectively inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme, Etoricoxib reduces the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation, while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects commonly seen with traditional NSAIDs.
