Etoricoxib which is a type of medicine known as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).NSAIDs work by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase. Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in producing prostaglandins in response to injury or certain diseases. These prostaglandins cause pain swelling and inflammation. Because NSAIDs block the production of these prostaglandins they are effective at relieving pain and inflammation.Cyclo-oxygenase does not only produce prostaglandins that cause inflammation. It also produces prostaglandins that have useful roles in the body. There are two different forms of cyclo-oxygenase COX-1 and COX-2. COX-2 is the form that (among other things) produces prostaglandins that cause inflammation. COX-1 does not produce inflammatory prostaglandins but does produce others that have useful effects including some that are involved in maintaining a healthy stomach and intestinal lining. Traditional NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or diclofenac block the action of both COX-1 and COX-2 and this is why they can sometimes cause side effects such as stomach irritation and peptic ulcers. Etoricoxib belongs to a new generation of NSAIDs that selectively block the action of COX-2. This means that it stops the production of inflammatory prostaglandins without stopping the production of prostaglandins that protect the stomach and intestines. It therefore reduces pain and inflammation but is less likely than traditional NSAIDs to cause side effects on the stomach and intestines (although such side effects are still possible).This medicine can be taken with or without food but may start to work quicker if taken without food.What is it used for?Acute gout Rheumatoid arthritis Osteoarthritis

This is your Albany on drugs: New legislation would hike cost of mail-order meds.
Whenever state lawmakers mess around with the rules for health insurance, New Yorkers should hang on to their wallets.
The latest scheme out of the Legislature - meant to squash the growing use of mail-order pharmacies - is no exception. This proposed law does nothing to improve the quality or quantity of the drugs that people will get.
But - like most of Albany's ill-conceived mandates - it will mean higher prices.
Directly, the law actually bans discounts for customers who buy medications via mail order.
Indirectly, the mandate is almost certain to drive up premiums for businesses that are already struggling to afford coverage for their employees.
The result could easily be more people who lack any drug coverage at all.
Yet this legislation - co-sponsored by Bronx Assemblyman Carl Heastie and Buffalo-area Sen. George Maziarz - whizzed through the Legislature with just four "no" votes.
Which leaves Gov. Cuomo and his veto pen as the last line of defense for beleaguered consumers.
More and more health plans are pushing their customers to use mail-order pharmacies for reasons that will be obvious to anyone who shops online: It's cheaper.
The mail-order medication dealers handle huge volumes, which means economies of scale and special discounts from manufacturers. They're highly automated and centralized. And they operate with none of the overhead that goes along with operating millions of storefronts.
