IXC-120 contains Etoricoxib 120mg as its active ingredient. Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor, a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal and joint disorders.
Indications:
Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Ankylosing spondylitis
Acute gouty arthritis
Short-term management of moderate pain following dental surgery
Mechanism of Action
Etoricoxib selectively inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in pain, inflammation, and swelling. By blocking COX-2, Etoricoxib reduces these symptoms without inhibiting COX-1, thereby minimizing gastrointestinal side effects typical of traditional NSAIDs.
Dosage & Administration
The usual recommended dose is 120 mg once daily, as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Should be taken at the same time each day, with or without food.
Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms.
