Etoricoxib and Paracetamol Tablets

Etoricoxib and Paracetamol Tablets are medications under the branding of EDIBOX-P. It is used to treat painful sensations in the body. Pain is a sensation that travels from the body or an organ to the brain and alerts the brain to issues with the specific organ. A wide range of issues, including headaches, muscular spasms, allergies, inflammation, redness, and swelling, can be felt by the human body. Different issues cause different kinds of physically uncomfortable sensations. The nerve cells are in charge of carrying painful sensations in the form of nerve impulses from the body to the brain.

These tablets consist of etoricoxib, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to block the action of certain chemical messengers in the body. These chemical messengers are in charge of collecting pain signals from injured organs to take them further to the receptors of the brain. Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic compound that helps to control pain and lower the temperature of the body during a fever.
