Arcoxia is a medication used to treat pain and inflammation resulting from conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It belongs to a class of drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It effectively works to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
Arcoxia (Etoricoxib) works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which plays a key role in the production of prostaglandins—chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. By reducing the levels of these substances, Arcoxia helps relieve pain and improve mobility in patients suffering from inflammatory conditions. It is commonly used to treat acute and chronic pain, including back pain and dental pain.
