Coxia Tablet contains Etoricoxib 120 mg, a high-potency selective COX-2 inhibitor from the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. It is specifically formulated for patients who require stronger pain and inflammation relief. Etoricoxib selectively blocks the COX-2 enzyme, reducing prostaglandin synthesis responsible for pain, swelling, and inflammation, while minimizing gastrointestinal irritation associated with traditional NSAIDs. Coxia 120 mg is ideal for severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute musculoskeletal pain requiring intensive therapy.
