Arcoxia is a medication that belongs to a group of medicines called 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 producing 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 for 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 dealing with these conditions.
