Nucoxia 60 Tablet

Nucoxia 60 Tablet contains Etoricoxib 60 mg. Prescription required.

Relief of pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis; acute pain conditions such as dental pain and acute musculoskeletal pain; acute gout (short-term, as prescribed).

Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor (NSAID) that reduces the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain, fever and inflammation. COX-2 selectivity helps reduce gastric irritation compared with non-selective NSAIDs, though risk is not eliminated.

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, preferably at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food (food may delay onset for acute pain). Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration; do not exceed the prescribed dose.

acidity/heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, diarrhoea, swelling (oedema), dizziness, headache, increased blood pressure

Use with caution in hypertension, kidney disease, liver disease, dehydration, elderly, history of ulcers/GI bleeding. May increase risk of serious cardiovascular events (heart attack/stroke), especially with higher doses/longer use. Can cause fluid retention and worsening heart failure.
