Eltrocib 50mg Tablet

About

Eltrocib 50mg Tablet is a highly selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, a specialized class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its primary action involves selectively blocking the COX-2 enzyme, which is predominantly responsible for synthesizing prostaglandins that mediate pain, inflammation, and fever. Crucially, this selectivity allows Eltrocib to largely spare the COX-1 enzyme, which plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of the gastrointestinal mucosa and platelet function. This targeted inhibition provides effective relief from inflammation and pain with a potentially reduced risk of gastrointestinal adverse effects, such as ulcers and bleeding, compared to traditional non-selective NSAIDs. Eltrocib is indicated for the symptomatic management of various chronic inflammatory and painful conditions, aiming to improve patient comfort, reduce swelling, and enhance overall physical function.
