About this product
Arcoxia is a pain relief medication that belongs to the class of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), primarily used to alleviate pain and inflammation. It contains the active ingredient etoricoxib, which works by inhibiting specific enzymes in the body known as cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins—chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. Arcoxia is recommended for treating conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and menstrual pain, helping patients regain their daily activities more swiftly. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional before use to ensure it is appropriate for your health condition.
