E-coxib Tablet 60 mg contains Etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor belonging to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. Etoricoxib works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is responsible for producing prostaglandins that cause pain, inflammation, and swelling. By selectively targeting COX-2, E-coxib effectively reduces pain and inflammation while minimizing the gastrointestinal side effects often associated with traditional NSAIDs that block both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.

E-coxib 60 mg is formulated for mild to moderate pain and inflammatory conditions, providing fast and sustained relief. Its oral tablet form allows for once-daily dosing, ensuring convenience and consistent therapeutic action for patients.

Indications

E-coxib Tablet 60 mg is indicated for:

• Osteoarthritis (OA): Relief of joint pain, stiffness, and swelling

• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA): Reduction of inflammation and improvement of mobility in affected joints

• Ankylosing spondylitis: Management of spinal inflammation, pain, and stiffness

• Acute gouty arthritis: Short-term relief of pain and inflammation during flare-ups

• Musculoskeletal pain: Management of mild to moderate musculoskeletal or post-operative pain

The 60 mg dose is typically recommended for patients requiring symptom relief for mild to moderate pain or inflammation, or as a maintenance dose when higher doses are not necessary.

Dosage and Administration

• Adults: One 60 mg tablet once daily, with or without food, or as prescribed by a physician

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew

• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to manage symptoms

• Patients should follow the prescribed regimen and avoid self-adjusting the dose

Taking E-coxib with meals may reduce gastrointestinal discomfort, although its COX-2 selectivity generally lowers the risk of stomach irritation compared to non-selective NSAIDs.

Precautions

• Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to Etoricoxib, aspirin, or other NSAIDs

• Use caution in patients with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, kidney or liver impairment

• Not recommended for patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers, unless under medical supervision

• Pregnant women, particularly in the third trimester, and breastfeeding mothers should avoid use unless directed by a healthcare professional

• Inform your healthcare provider about all medications being taken, as Etoricoxib may interact with other drugs
