Arcoxia

How Does Arcoxia Work?

In response to injuries or medical conditions such as arthritis, our body makes prostaglandins with the help of an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase (COX). These Prostaglandins are responsible for causing symptoms such as inflammation, swelling and pain. The Etoricoxib in Arcoxia blocks the action of COX which reduces the production of prostaglandins and in turn alleviates pain and inflammation.

While a single dose of Arcoxia starts to relieve pain, its anti-inflammatory property builds up over a few weeks of regular intake.

How Do I Use Arcoxia?

Arcoxia tablets are required to be swallowed with a glass of water. The tablet does not need to be halved. You can have Arcoxia before or after your meal but taking it before prior to your meal allows it to be more effective. However, taking it at the same time every day is recommended if you are expecting best results.

Side Effects

Arcoxia may display some side effects, which may not be serious, but a few may require medical attention. Here are some mild Etoricoxib side effects to look out for:

-Nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea

-Stomach pains and discomfort, indigestion and heartburn

-Swollen ankles, feet or legs

-High BP

-Headaches and dizziness

-Allergic reactions
