Torib 90 Tab

Tablet

Relief of pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute gouty arthritis, and short-term management of acute musculoskeletal/dental pain (as prescribed).

Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor (NSAID). It reduces the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain, swelling and inflammation while having less effect on COX-1 compared to non-selective NSAIDs.

Tablet for oral use. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily; can be taken with or without food (food may delay onset). Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration; swallow with water and do not exceed the prescribed dose.
