Main Ingredients & Their Benefits:
- Etoricoxib: A selective COX-2 inhibitor that helps to reduce inflammation and pain by specifically blocking the COX-2 enzyme involved in the inflammatory process. Unlike traditional NSAIDs, it doesn’t inhibit COX-1, which is important for protecting the stomach lining, thus lowering the risk of gastrointestinal side effects like ulcers.

Side Effects:
- Common: Nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, mild swelling in the legs or ankles.
- Serious: Severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), irregular heartbeat, heart failure, stomach ulcers, liver problems, kidney issues.
- Rare: Serious skin reactions, taste changes, confusion, hallucinations, mood changes, increased blood pressure, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
