Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

ETODOLAC-600MG

Uses:

Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis

Medicinal Benefits:

ETOSAFE ER TABLET works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. Thus, ETOSAFE ER TABLET helps treat pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
