Coxia Tablet contains Etoricoxib 90 mg, a potent selective COX-2 inhibitor from the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. It is used to manage pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute musculoskeletal disorders. By selectively blocking the COX-2 enzyme, Etoricoxib reduces prostaglandin production, which is responsible for pain, swelling, and inflammation, while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects often seen with traditional NSAIDs. Coxia 90 mg offers stronger analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects for patients requiring higher-dose therapy.
