Etody 90 Tablet

Description

Etody 90 Tablet is a pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medicine containing Etoricoxib (90mg) as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of drugs called COX-2 selective Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). Etody 90 is primarily used for the management of pain, swelling, and stiffness caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout.

Etoricoxib works by selectively blocking the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which plays a key role in the production of prostaglandins — chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation. By targeting COX-2 specifically, Etody 90 Tablet provides effective pain relief with a lower risk of stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional NSAIDs.

This medicine helps improve joint flexibility, reduce inflammation, and enhance mobility, allowing patients to perform daily activities with greater ease.
