Rheumatoid Arthritis – Helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and joint pain.
Ankylosing Spondylitis – Improves mobility and decreases spinal pain and stiffness.

👉 In clinical practice, etoricoxib 60 mg tablets are often chosen when long-term NSAID therapy is required with minimal gastric irritation (PubMed).
Mechanism of Action for Ziacox-60
Etoricoxib works by selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins that mediate pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Unlike traditional NSAIDs (which block both COX-1 and COX-2), Etoricoxib spares COX-1, thereby reducing the risk of gastric ulcers and bleeding.
It provides targeted anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, making it safer for long-term use in patients prone to gastrointestinal side effects.
👉 Clinical studies confirm that tab etoricoxib 60 mg is effective in arthritis, spondylitis, and gout while offering better gastric tolerability compared to non-selective NSAIDs.
