Strength:

120 MG 90 MG

Alcoxib 120mg Tablet is used to treat pain and inflammation caused by various types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis and gout. It contains etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor.

This medicine blocks the enzymes responsible for pain and swelling in the joints, providing relief while being gentler on the stomach than older pain relievers, and is also effective for short-term pain following dental surgery. Take this tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Staying gently active and applying a warm compress to stiff joints can support improved mobility alongside this medicine.

Tell your doctor about any history of heart or kidney problems before starting therapy. Avoid taking other NSAID medicines alongside this tablet. Report chest pain, swelling of the legs, or signs of an allergic reaction, to your doctor.
