Riox Tablet 60 mg contains Etoricoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor used to manage pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions. Etoricoxib belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), but its selective COX-2 inhibition provides effective relief from pain and swelling while reducing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with non-selective NSAIDs.

Riox Tablet is commonly prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute gouty arthritis. It works by inhibiting COX-2 enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins—chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation, pain, and fever. By targeting these enzymes, Riox helps reduce joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, improving mobility and overall quality of life for patients with chronic or acute inflammatory conditions.

In addition to arthritis-related pain, Etoricoxib is effective for managing musculoskeletal pain, including back pain, post-operative pain, and other conditions involving inflammation. Riox Tablet 60 mg is designed for oral administration and provides a convenient option for both short-term and long-term pain management under medical supervision.
