TORIB 120MG TABLET

Torib 120mg tablet contains Etoricoxib as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Torib is commonly prescribed to relieve pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with various conditions, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gouty arthritis. It works by reducing the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

Side Effects:

1. Gastrointestinal effects: Etoricoxib may cause gastrointestinal side effects, including abdominal pain, indigestion, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea. In some cases, it can lead to stomach ulcers, bleeding, or perforation, which may be severe and potentially life-threatening.
2. Cardiovascular effects: Long-term use of Etoricoxib or high doses may increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or high blood pressure.
3. Skin reactions: Some individuals may experience skin reactions, including rash, itching, or hives, as a result of taking Torib tablets. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions (such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome) may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.
4. Fluid retention and edema: Etoricoxib can cause fluid retention, leading to swelling in the hands, feet, ankles, or legs.
5. Liver and kidney effects: In rare instances, Torib tablets may affect liver function or kidney function, resulting in abnormal liver or kidney tests.

When Not to Use:

1. Allergy to NSAIDs: If you have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to NSAIDs, including Etoricoxib, avoid using Torib tablets.
2. History of allergic reactions: If you have experienced allergic reactions (such as asthma, rash, or swelling) to other NSAIDs or aspirin, use Torib with caution or avoid it altogether.
3. Active gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers: Torib tablets should not be used in individuals with active bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or those with a history of recurrent ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding.
4. Severe heart failure: If you have severe heart failure, Torib tablets are contraindicated due to the potential risk of worsening the condition.
5. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Torib tablets are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding as their safety and effects on the developing fetus or infant are not fully established. Consult a healthcare professional for advice in such situations.
