Product Overview
Ziacox 120 is a high-strength pain relief formulation containing etoricoxib 120 mg, meant for conditions requiring powerful anti-inflammatory action. Etoricoxib is a COX-2 inhibitor that targets inflammatory pathways while reducing gastric side effects associated with older NSAIDs.
Doctors commonly prescribe it for acute pain episodes, arthritis flare-ups, gout attacks, dental pain, and postoperative pain. Fast-acting, long-lasting, and highly tolerable — Ziacox 120 is an excellent option for orthopedic, rheumatology, and general medicine practices.
For distributors and PCD pharma partners, this is a high-demand product due to wide prescription coverage.
Indications for Etoricoxib 120 mg
The etoricoxib 120 mg tablet is indicated for:

Acute pain & musculoskeletal inflammation

Dental pain (post-procedural)

Mechanism of Action
Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor, meaning:
-
-
It blocks COX-2 enzymes involved in producing prostaglandins responsible for inflammation, fever, and pain.
-
It spares COX-1 enzymes which help protect the stomach lining, reducing GI irritation.
-
