Retoz-90 Tablet is formulated to provide relief from pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout in individuals over sixteen years of age. It is also prescribed to manage moderate discomfort following dental procedures.
The key component, etoricoxib, functions by inhibiting COX-2 enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins. These chemical messengers play a major role in causing pain, inflammation, and swelling. By targeting COX-2, Retoz-90 Tablet works at the site of discomfort to alleviate symptoms while being gentler on the stomach compared to other pain-relief medications.
