Etoricoxib, marketed under TGP Etoricoxib and available in a film-coated tablet form, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in various conditions.
Description:
Uses:
1. Osteoarthritis: To manage pain and inflammation associated with this common form of arthritis.
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis: To alleviate symptoms of this chronic inflammatory disorder affecting joints.

Mechanism of Action:
Etoricoxib works by selectively inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which is involved in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking COX-2, etoricoxib helps reduce these symptoms.
Dosage and Administration:
The dosage of etoricoxib varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual patient's needs. It is usually taken once daily, with or without food. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed the recommended dose to minimize the risk of side effects.
