Etoricoxib 30mg Tablets for Pain and Inflammation

Overview

Etoricoxib 30mg Tablets are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to treat pain and inflammation. They work by inhibiting COX-2 enzymes, which are involved in producing inflammatory substances in the body

Directions

You should always take Etoricoxib 30mg Tablets exactly as your doctor has told you. If you are unsure, check with them.

The usual recommendation is taking the tablet once a day, with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and must not be crushed, chewed, or broken.

Side Effects

The following side effects can occur during treatment with Etoricoxib 30mg Tablets:

• stomach pain
• dry socket
• swelling of the legs and/or feet due to fluid retention

If you experience any side effects, including any not mentioned in the patient information leaflet, speak to your doctor.

How it works

Etoricoxib works by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme involved in producing prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation. By specifically targeting COX-2 with minimal effect on COX-1 (which helps protect the stomach lining), etoricoxib reduces pain and inflammation while potentially lowering the risk of gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional NSAIDs.

The medication is rapidly absorbed and distributed to inflamed tissues, providing effective relief. Etoricoxib has a long half-life, allowing for once-daily dosing while maintaining pain control throughout the day.
