Uses
Arcoxia (Etoricoxib) is an anti-inflammatory medication used to reduce the swelling caused by various conditions such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout. It can also be used to treat chronic back pain from other causes. It has been proven to alleviate these symptoms by helping to block the actions in the body of a substance known as cyclo-oxygenase. This substance is involved in producing the prostaglandins in the body which cause swelling and inflammation. By blocking the actions of these substances, this medication helps to effectively reduce swelling and inflammation.
