Scientific Evidence

Etoricoxib, the active ingredient in Arcoxia, is a selective COX-2 inhibitor that exerts its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Clinical studies have shown that etoricoxib is effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Additional Information

Arcoxia is well-tolerated and has a favorable safety profile compared to traditional NSAIDs. However, like all medications, it may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances or cardiovascular events. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider before starting Arcoxia.

Research has also suggested that etoricoxib may have a lower risk of gastrointestinal complications compared to traditional NSAIDs, making it a preferred choice for patients at risk of developing ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding.
