Etosaid 120 Tablet

Etosaid 120 Tablet is a prescription medicine commonly used to manage pain, inflammation, and swelling in various musculoskeletal and joint-related conditions. It contains Etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, which works by blocking certain chemical messengers responsible for pain and inflammation without affecting the protective functions of the stomach lining as much as traditional NSAIDs. It is widely prescribed in conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, and chronic back pain. Etosaid 120 provides effective relief from stiffness, joint discomfort, and pain, improving mobility and overall quality of life. Due to its potent action, it should only be taken under medical supervision and for the duration prescribed by a healthcare professional.
