Información sobre el producto
Etoricoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in the COX-2 inhibitor class. It is used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It works by blocking the activity of a specific enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2, which helps to reduce the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. It comes as a tablet, taken orally. It should be used with caution and under medical supervision due to potential side-effects such as stomach bleeding and increased risk of heart attack or stroke.
