Nucoxia 90 MG Description

Nucoxia 90 is an anti-inflammatory medication used to treat pain, swelling, and inflammatory conditions caused by arthritis. It is also prescribed for the short-term relief of pain associated with other medical conditions. This tablet contains etoricoxib, which is a part of a class of medications known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Nucoxia 90 works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body responsible for pain and inflammation.

It should be taken as directed by the doctor, in the doses and duration prescribed. It is advised to take Nucoxia 90 with or after meals to avoid stomach upset. Common side effects of the Nucoxia 90 tablet are nausea, diarrhoea, headache and stomach pain. Most of these are temporary, but if you feel the side effects persist or your condition worsens, you should contact your doctor immediately. Nucoxia 90 should not be used in children below 16 years of age.

Other medications that contain etoricoxib as an active ingredient include Etoshine 90 tablet, Fitdent 90 tablet, Intacoxia 90 tablet, Etozox 90 tablet, Ezact 90 tablet, and Etos 90 tablet.
