Description
Etody 120 Tablet is a potent pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medicine that contains Etoricoxib (120mg) as its active ingredient. It belongs to the class of COX-2 selective Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). Etody 120 is mainly prescribed for the treatment of severe pain and inflammation caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, and acute musculoskeletal disorders.
Etoricoxib works by blocking the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which reduces the production of prostaglandins — the substances responsible for pain, swelling, and inflammation. Because it specifically targets COX-2, Etody 120 Tablet offers strong pain relief with less risk of stomach irritation and ulcers compared to traditional NSAIDs like ibuprofen or diclofenac.
This medicine helps improve mobility, reduce joint stiffness, and enhance the quality of life for patients suffering from chronic or acute pain conditions.
