About Nucoxia 90 mg Injection 1 ml

Nucoxia 90 mg Injection 1 ml belongs to a group of medications called ‘non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used to treat pain, swelling and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and gout in patients greater than 16 years of age. Besides this, it is also used to treat moderate pain after dental surgery. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative bone disease in which the tissue supporting the joints wears down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition in which the immune system attacks its tissue leading to joint pain and inflammation.

It acts as both analgesic (reduces pain) and an anti-inflammatory (reduces inflammation) agent. It is a selective COX-2 inhibitor.

The blocking of COX-2 reduces the production of prostaglandins, eventually decreasing pain and inflammation.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Maintain a healthy body weight because obesity can lead to joint pain. Please avoid strenuous exercise as it may aggravate your arthritis-related joint pain. Instead, you can stretch and engage in low-impact aerobic exercises such as treadmill walking, biking, and swimming. Lifting light weights can also help to improve your muscle strength.
  • Increase your intake of glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, vitamin sD, and calcium-rich supplements. Aside from that, turmeric and fish oils can help to reduce tissue inflammation.
  • Include fish such as salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines in your diet if you have arthritis or joint pain. These fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which aid in the reduction of inflammation (redness and swelling) and the protection of the heart.
  • Your sitting posture is critical, especially if you suffer from pain or inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short period of time (10-15 min). To alleviate pain, place a rolled-up towel at the back of your curve. In addition, if necessary, a footrest can be used.
  • Follow heat or cold therapy by applying a cold or hot compress to the joints on a regular basis for 15-20 minutes.
  • Relax by meditating, reading, taking a nice bubble bath, or listening to calming music.
  • Avoid drinking alcohol and quit smoking.
