 How It Works

 

• Etrik 90mg Tablet has etoricoxib in it, which is a selective COX-2 inhibitor (NSAID).
• It stops the COX-2 enzyme from making prostaglandins, which are natural molecules that induce pain, swelling, and inflammation in the body.
• Etoricoxib has strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties because it lowers the production of prostaglandins. It also causes less stomach discomfort than other NSAIDs.
