Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor classified under nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It provides anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2, an enzyme responsible for the production of prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Pain Management: Etoricoxib is primarily used as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for treating pain and inflammation. It is especially effective in managing chronic musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
  • Post-operative Pain Relief: It is also prescribed for short-term treatment of moderate pain following dental or orthopedic surgery due to its targeted COX-2 inhibition and reduced gastrointestinal side effects.
  • Gout Treatment: Etoricoxib is indicated for acute gouty arthritis, where it helps reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with uric acid crystal deposition.
  • Dysmenorrhea and General Inflammation: Sometimes used off-label to treat primary dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps) and other inflammatory conditions where selective COX-2 inhibition is preferred over conventional NSAIDs.
