Etova-ER 400 Tablet (Etodolac 400mg)

Etova-ER 400mg Tablet 10’s belongs to the group of pain killers known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Etova-ER 400 Tablet 10’s treats mild to moderate pain of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to breakdown of a protective covering (cartilage). Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease (body’s immune system attacks its tissue) which leads to joint pain and damage.

 

Etova-ER 400mg Tablet 10’s works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical ‘prostaglandins’ (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking effect of COX enzymes, fewer PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
