Understanding Etoricoxib: Your Advanced Pain Management Solution
Etoricoxib is a modern selective COX-2 inhibitor (a type of NSAID) that has been helping Filipinos manage chronic arthritis pain, acute gout attacks, and other painful inflammatory conditions. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition, you can be confident this is a government-approved, evidence-based treatment for pain and inflammation.
How Etoricoxib Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your body has "pain factories" called COX-2 enzymes that produce chemicals causing pain and swelling. Traditional painkillers (like ibuprofen) shut down BOTH COX-1 and COX-2 factories—which can irritate your stomach. Etoricoxib is smarter—it selectively targets ONLY the COX-2 pain factories, giving you effective relief while being gentler on your stomach lining. It's like having a precision tool that fixes the problem without collateral damage.
What Conditions Does Etoricoxib Treat?
Etoricoxib provides powerful relief for various painful conditions:
- Osteoarthritis: The "wear and tear" arthritis that causes joint pain and stiffness, especially in knees, hips, and hands
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: Autoimmune arthritis causing swollen, painful joints
- Ankylosing Spondylitis: Inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine and lower back
- Acute Gouty Arthritis: Sudden, severe joint pain from gout attacks—often in the big toe
