Scientific Evidence

Etoricoxib, the active ingredient in Arcoxia, is a selective COX-2 inhibitor that exerts its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2. Clinical studies have shown that etoricoxib is effective in reducing pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions.

Additional Information

Arcoxia has been extensively studied in clinical trials for its efficacy and safety profile. Research has demonstrated that Arcoxia provides effective pain relief with a lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional NSAIDs.

Patients should be aware of the potential cardiovascular risks associated with Arcoxia and discuss these risks with their healthcare provider before starting treatment.
