Etozox 60 mg Tablet

Description

Etozox 60 mg Tablet is a selective COX-2 inhibitor belonging to the NSAID (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) class. It is primarily prescribed for relieving pain, inflammation, and stiffness associated with various musculoskeletal and joint disorders. The active ingredient, Etoricoxib (60 mg), selectively inhibits the COX-2 enzyme responsible for producing prostaglandins, which are chemicals that mediate pain and inflammation, while sparing the COX-1 enzyme that protects the stomach lining. This selective action reduces gastrointestinal side effects often seen with traditional NSAIDs.

Uses:

• Relief from pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

• Management of ankylosing spondylitis and other chronic spinal disorders.

• Treatment of acute musculoskeletal pain, including strains, sprains, and post-traumatic pain.

• Reduces joint stiffness, swelling, and tenderness associated with chronic inflammatory conditions.

• Suitable for patients requiring NSAID therapy with a lower risk of gastric irritation.

Dosage and Administration:

• Take as prescribed by a healthcare professional, usually 1 tablet once daily with or after food.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or break.

• Complete the course as advised to ensure full therapeutic effect.

Side Effects:
While generally well tolerated, some patients may experience:

• Mild stomach upset, nausea, or indigestion.

• Dizziness or headache in some individuals.

• Rare gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, or perforation with prolonged use.

• Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling.

• Long-term use may rarely affect kidney or liver function, so monitoring may be recommended.

Precautions and Warnings:

• Avoid if allergic to Etoricoxib or other NSAIDs.

• Use caution in patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney or liver impairment, or gastrointestinal disorders.

• Not recommended during late pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed.

• Take with food or water to minimize gastrointestinal irritation.
