Afocoxib Tablet contains the following components:

• Etoricoxib (90 mg): It is an NSAID that inhibits the enzymes responsible for producing prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that mediate inflammation and pain. It selectively targets and suppresses COX-2, an enzyme primarily responsible for inflammation and pain, without extensively affecting COX-1, thereby reducing the risk of certain side effects. By reducing the levels of these prostaglandins, etoricoxib effectively diminishes inflammation, pain, and fever.
