Nucoxia SP Tablet consists of two active ingredients:

Etoricoxib (60 mg): This ingredient belongs to the class of COX-2 inhibitors. Its function is to selectively inhibit the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins that cause pain, fever and inflammation. By blocking COX-2, etoricoxib effectively reduces these symptoms.
Serratiopeptidase (10 mg): As a proteolytic enzyme, serratiopeptidase works by breaking down abnormal inflammatory proteins and peptides at the site of inflammation. This action helps reduce swelling and promotes healing of injured tissues. Serratiopeptidase also enhances the absorption of etoricoxib.
