Intacoxia 90mg Tablet

Intacoxia 90 mg Tablet is a selective COX-2 inhibitor (NSAID) containing Etoricoxib 90 mg, used to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute gout, dental pain, and other musculoskeletal disorders. Unlike traditional NSAIDs, Etoricoxib selectively blocks the COX-2 enzyme, reducing pain and inflammation while causing less irritation to the stomach in many patients. It provides long-lasting pain relief, often with once-daily dosing, improving mobility and quality of life. However, it should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration, as prolonged use may increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems, especially in susceptible individuals. Always use Intacoxia exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Intacoxia 90 mg Tablet contains Etoricoxib 90 mg, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor that effectively reduces pain and inflammation without significantly blocking the COX-1 enzyme responsible for protecting the stomach lining. By selectively inhibiting COX-2, Etoricoxib decreases the production of inflammatory prostaglandins, thereby relieving pain, swelling, stiffness, and tenderness associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute gout, and acute pain conditions. Compared with many traditional NSAIDs, it generally causes less gastric irritation, making it suitable for some patients at risk of stomach discomfort. Its long duration of action allows convenient once-daily dosing, improving treatment adherence.

However, prolonged or high-dose use may increase the risk of cardiovascular events, kidney impairment, and elevated blood pressure, especially in high-risk individuals. Therefore, it should always be used under medical supervision, at the lowest effective dose, and for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms.
