Unlike traditional NSAIDs, it targets COX-2 enzymes involved in inflammation while sparing COX-1, which protects the stomach lining. This selectivity makes Etoricoxib 60 mg a preferred option in long-term pain management, particularly in patients at risk of gastrointestinal complications.

How ERITOCOX 60 Works

Etoricoxib 60 mg works by selectively inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme, responsible for producing prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation.

• No significant inhibition of COX-1 → Lower risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding

This selectivity provides effective pain relief while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects associated with non-selective NSAIDs like diclofenac or ibuprofen.
