Orotix 120 mg 7 Tablets

Orotix 120 mg 7 Tablets:

Orotix 120 mg 7 tablets contains Etoricoxib as the active ingredient. Etoricoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to a group of medicines called selective COX-2 inhibitors (coxibs).

It works by blocking the action of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which is involved in producing prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By selectively inhibiting COX-2, Etoricoxib helps relieve pain and inflammation with a lower risk of some gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Uses:

Osteoarthritis (joint pain and stiffness)
Rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting many joints)
Ankylosing spondylitis (an inflammatory disease affecting the spine)
Acute gout attacks (sudden and severe episodes of joint pain and redness)
Moderate to severe pain after surgery, including dental surgery

Orotix 120 mg tablets are indicated to relieve pain and inflammation in various conditions, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute gout attacks, and post-dental surgery pain.
