Riox Tablet 90 mg contains Etoricoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor used for the management of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and inflammatory disorders. Etoricoxib belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), but its selective COX-2 inhibition provides effective relief from pain and inflammation while reducing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with non-selective NSAIDs.

Riox Tablet 90 mg is primarily prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute gouty arthritis. Etoricoxib works by inhibiting COX-2 enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins—chemical mediators that trigger inflammation, pain, and fever. By selectively targeting these enzymes, Riox reduces pain, swelling, and stiffness, improving mobility and overall quality of life for patients with chronic or acute inflammatory conditions.

Additionally, Etoricoxib is effective in relieving musculoskeletal pain, including back pain and post-operative pain. Riox Tablet 90 mg is intended for oral administration and provides convenient, effective relief for moderate to severe pain under medical supervision.
