How it works

Torimac 90mg Tablet 10s is effective in alleviating pain and reducing inflammation by specifically targeting an enzyme known as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). This enzyme plays a crucial role in the inflammatory process. By inhibiting COX-2, Etoricoxib curtails the production of prostaglandins—chemicals that contribute to the sensation of pain and the development of inflammation in the affected joints. This targeted approach allows Etoricoxib to provide relief by addressing the underlying mechanisms that lead to discomfort and swelling.
