Arcoxia (etoricoxib) 

Indications 

• Arcoxia is used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout. 
• It helps manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. 
• Arcoxia is also effective in treating acute pain and dental pain. 

Dosage and Administration 

• Take Arcoxia exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily.

Mechanism of Action 

Arcoxia contains Etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor. It works by blocking the action of the enzyme COX-2, which is responsible for producing prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation. By inhibiting COX-2, Arcoxia reduces inflammation and pain without significantly affecting the COX-1 enzyme, which protects the stomach lining.
