ETRIK P TABLET 10'S

How ETRIK P TABLET 10'S Works

• ETRIK P TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to alleviate pain and inflammation. It contains Etoricoxib and Paracetamol, each working through different mechanisms to provide relief. Etoricoxib is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). COX-2 is an enzyme responsible for the production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain, inflammation, and fever. By selectively blocking COX-2, Etoricoxib reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby diminishing pain and inflammation, particularly in conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
• Paracetamol, also known as Acetaminophen, works through a different pathway. While its exact mechanism isn't fully understood, it's believed to primarily act centrally in the brain and spinal cord to reduce pain and fever. Paracetamol may inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in the brain, which contributes to its analgesic (pain-relieving) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects. Unlike NSAIDs, Paracetamol has minimal anti-inflammatory effects and does not significantly inhibit COX-1, an enzyme involved in protecting the stomach lining. This makes it a gentler option for individuals prone to gastrointestinal issues.
• The combination of Etoricoxib and Paracetamol in ETRIK P TABLET 10'S provides a synergistic effect, meaning they work together to provide greater pain relief than either medication could achieve alone. Etoricoxib targets inflammation at the source, while Paracetamol raises the pain threshold and reduces fever. This dual action makes ETRIK P TABLET 10'S effective for managing a wide range of painful conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, post-operative pain, and dental pain. It is important to use this medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider to minimize the risk of side effects and maximize its benefits.
• Furthermore, the selective COX-2 inhibition of Etoricoxib means that it is less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional non-selective NSAIDs, which inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 is important for maintaining the protective lining of the stomach, and its inhibition can lead to ulcers and bleeding. However, like all medications, Etoricoxib is not entirely without risk, and it's crucial to discuss your medical history and any existing conditions with your doctor before starting treatment with ETRIK P TABLET 10'S.
• In summary, ETRIK P TABLET 10'S combines the anti-inflammatory power of Etoricoxib with the analgesic properties of Paracetamol to offer comprehensive pain relief. It targets pain and inflammation through multiple pathways, making it a valuable option for individuals suffering from various painful conditions. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and be aware of potential side effects to ensure safe and effective use.
