Rhucoxia-P Tablet 10'S

Rhucoxia-P Tablet 10'S belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) used to relieve pain and inflammation in the conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gouty arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, tooth pain, headache, nerve pain, muscular pain, back pain, fever, cold, and flu. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body.

Rhucoxia-P Tablet 10'S is a combination of two drugs, namely: Etoricoxib and Paracetamol. Rhucoxia-P Tablet 10'S works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme that makes another chemical prostaglandin which causes pain and inflammation. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser prostaglandins are produced. This helps in reducing mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

You are advised to take Rhucoxia-P Tablet 10'S for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as flatulence, constipation, nausea, diarrhoea, and swelling of hands and feet. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
