CompositionNucoxia 120 Tablet is used to treat pain, inflammation and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and gout, and for short-term pain relief after dental or minor surgery. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing etoricoxib, and belongs to a class of medicines called selective COX-2 inhibitors.
This medicine works by blocking the enzymes responsible for pain and swelling in the joints, targeting inflammation while sparing the COX-1 enzyme that protects the stomach lining. Take it as prescribed, with or without food, and avoid taking it for longer than advised by your doctor.
Staying well hydrated, maintaining a healthy weight and gentle regular movement support joint comfort alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or kidney problems before starting. Report swelling of the ankles, chest pain, shortness of breath, or black stools. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
