Riox Tablet 120 mg contains Etoricoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and inflammatory disorders. Etoricoxib belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) but selectively targets COX-2 enzymes, providing effective relief from pain and swelling while reducing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects commonly seen with traditional NSAIDs.

Riox Tablet 120 mg is prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute gouty arthritis. Etoricoxib works by inhibiting COX-2 enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins—chemicals that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By selectively blocking these enzymes, Riox reduces joint and muscle pain, swelling, and stiffness, helping patients regain mobility and improving overall quality of life.

This higher-dose formulation is particularly beneficial for patients who require stronger pain control or for those whose symptoms are not adequately managed by lower doses of Etoricoxib. Riox Tablet 120 mg is suitable for oral administration under medical supervision and is intended for both short-term and long-term management of inflammatory conditions.
