Description
Nucoxia 60mg Tablet is a medication primarily used for the management of pain and inflammation associated with certain types of arthritis. Its active ingredient is Etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor. Etoricoxib works by blocking the action of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an enzyme involved in the production of prostaglandins, which are substances that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body. By selectively inhibiting COX-2, Nucoxia provides relief from pain and reduces inflammation with a potentially lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects compared to non-selective NSAIDs. It is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gouty arthritis. The typical dosage is one tablet daily, but it should be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, nausea, and abdominal pain. Serious side effects, though rare, can include cardiovascular events and allergic reactions. It is important to store Nucoxia 60mg Tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.
