TORIB 120MG TAB 10s

TORIB 120mg Tablet contains Etoricoxib 120mg, a selective COX-2 inhibitor (NSAID) manufactured by The Searle Company Ltd. It is prescribed for the short-term treatment of acute gout attacks, as well as for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute musculoskeletal pain. By selectively inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme, TORIB helps reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation while having a lower risk of stomach irritation than traditional non-selective NSAIDs. It should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration as directed by a healthcare professional.
