Key Highlights
Ziacox-P is a dual-action etoricoxib and paracetamol tablet for pain and inflammation.
Ideal for joint pain, muscle pain, arthritis flare-ups, dental pain, and post-injury pain.
Etoricoxib targets inflammation; paracetamol boosts pain and fever relief.
Lower GI-irritation potential compared to many traditional NSAIDs.
Manufactured by Biozia Lifesciences in a fully WHO-GMP certified facility.
Product Overview
Ziacox-P is a balanced combination of etoricoxib and paracetamol, designed for patients who need strong and sustained relief from pain and inflammation. Etoricoxib (a COX-2 selective inhibitor) reduces inflammation with a better gastric safety profile than many older NSAIDs, while paracetamol provides additional analgesic and antipyretic benefits.
This makes Ziacox-P suitable for conditions such as osteoarthritis, musculoskeletal pain, back pain, dental pain, and post-trauma inflammatory symptoms. For distributors and PCD partners, this combination has consistently high prescription demand across orthopedic, general medicine, and pain management practices.
Indications for Etoricoxib and Paracetamol
The etoricoxib and paracetamol combination is indicated (under medical supervision) for:
Musculoskeletal pain & acute joint inflammation
Lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain
Dental pain and post-dental procedures
Pain after minor injuries, sprains, strain or trauma
Post-operative mild to moderate inflammatory pain
Pain where inflammation + fever coexist
The combination provides broader relief compared to single-agent therapy.
Mechanism of Action
Etoricoxib
Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor, which blocks prostaglandins responsible for inflammation and swelling while sparing COX-1 (which protects stomach lining).
This reduces pain and inflammation with lower gastric irritation risk.

Paracetamol (Acetaminophen)
Paracetamol works centrally in the brain to reduce pain signals and lower fever. It complements etoricoxib by enhancing overall pain relief.

Together, etoricoxib and paracetamol offer strong anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic benefits.
