E-coxib Tablet 120 mg contains Etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor belonging to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class. Etoricoxib works by blocking the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is responsible for producing prostaglandins that cause pain, inflammation, and swelling. By selectively inhibiting COX-2, E-coxib reduces pain and inflammation while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects often associated with traditional NSAIDs that inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.

E-coxib 120 mg is particularly effective for moderate to severe pain and inflammatory conditions, providing rapid relief and improved mobility for patients with musculoskeletal and joint disorders. Its once-daily oral administration ensures convenient dosing and consistent therapeutic effects.
