How Etoricoxib Tablets 90 mg Works

Etoricoxib Tablets work by selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. This enzyme is involved in the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause inflammation, pain, and swelling. By inhibiting COX-2, Etoricoxib reduces the production of prostaglandins, thereby decreasing inflammation and pain.
