Arcoxia

About Arcoxia

Arcoxia is a medicine that belongs to a group of medicines known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It contains the active ingredient etoricoxib, which works by blocking the action of an enzyme in the body that is involved in the production of prostaglandins. These prostaglandins cause pain, swelling and inflammation. Arcoxia helps to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and gout. 

Arcoxia is suitable for adults in the treatment of various types of arthritis and acute gouty arthritis. It can help manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life if you are living with these conditions.

Dosage and use

The recommended dose of Arcoxia is 60 mg once daily. Your doctor may increase the dose to a maximum of 90 mg once daily if necessary. It is important to take Arcoxia exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose or use for longer than recommended.

You can take Arcoxia with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
