Coxitor Tablet 90 mg is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing Etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor. It is widely used for the management of pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal and joint disorders. By targeting specific inflammatory pathways, it helps reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness while offering better gastrointestinal tolerability compared to traditional NSAIDs.
