Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor, a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve moderate to severe pain, inflammation, and stiffness in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute gout. It offers targeted relief for arthritis pain and acute pain (e.g., after dental surgery) with a lower risk of gastrointestinal issues compared to traditional NSAIDs.
