Arcoxia (60 mg) is a medication containing etoricoxib, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by reducing inflammation, pain, and swelling. It's commonly prescribed to treat conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute pain, and gout attacks.It works by selectively inhibiting COX-2, an enzyme that contributes to inflammation and pain, unlike traditional NSAIDs that also inhibit COX-1, which protects the stomach lining.
