Rheumatoid arthritis is a disorder that causes joint pain and inflammation when the immune system destroys its own tissue. Inflammation of the spine and major joints is known as ankylosing spondylitis. Due to uric acid crystals accumulating in the joints, gout is characterized by discomfort and inflammation.

Etoricoxib Tablets IP contains ETORICOXIB IP 60MG which works by blocking the release of a chemical messenger known as prostaglandin, produced by COX-2, which are responsible for inflammation, swelling, and pain. Etoricoxib Tablets act at the affected area and act specifically at the pain site. The advantage of COX-2 inhibitors is that they protect the stomach lining from the ulcer impact due to other painkillers, ibuprofen and aspirin.
