Description

INTACOXIA-P Tablet by Intas is a combination medicine that contains Etoricoxib (a COX-2 selective NSAID) and Paracetamol (an analgesic and antipyretic). It is primarily used to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, muscle pain, dental pain, and post-surgical pain.

Uses:

• Joint pain and arthritis-related inflammation

• Muscle and back pain

• Menstrual cramps

• Dental pain

• Post-operative pain

• Fever and general body aches

Etoricoxib reduces pain and swelling by selectively blocking COX-2 enzymes, thus minimizing gastric side effects compared to traditional NSAIDs. Paracetamol helps lower fever and enhances pain relief.

Side Effects:

Though effective, INTACOXIA-P may cause some side effects:

• Gastric discomfort or acid reflux

• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea

• Dizziness or headache

• High blood pressure

• Skin rashes or allergic reactions

• Liver-related issues (especially with prolonged use due to paracetamol)

• Swelling of legs or feet (due to fluid retention)

Long-term or high-dose use should be under strict medical supervision, especially in patients with heart, liver, or kidney problems, to avoid complications.
