Etoricoxib 60mg Tablets

About Etoricoxib 60mg Tablets

Etoricoxib 60mg Tablets contain etoricoxib 60 mg, a selective COX-2 inhibitor belonging to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) group. Etoricoxib is used to relieve pain and inflammation in joints and muscles while being gentler on the stomach than traditional NSAIDs.
