Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Etoricoxib Tablets.
Etoricoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs).
Etoricoxib blocks the action of an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase (COX). COX makes substances called prostaglandins in response to injury and conditions like arthritis.
The prostaglandins cause pain, inflammation, and swelling.
Etoricoxib works by blocking the production of these prostaglandins and this reduces inflammation and pain.
Etoricoxib’s anti-inflammatory effect builds up over a few weeks of taking it regularly but it starts to relieve pain after a single dose.
This medication is excreted in urine, with about 20% excreted in feces.
