Etoricoxib works by selectively inhibiting the enzyme COX-2, which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins play a key role in causing inflammation, pain, and fever. By inhibiting COX-2, Etoricoxib reduces the production of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.
