Product introduction

Cetoxib-Gel 10mg/30mg/50mg/100mg Ointment is a pain relieving medicine applied topically to relieve pain. It is used to treat pain and inflammation in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteoarthritis. It is also used to relieve muscle pain, back pain, and other inflammatory conditions.

Cetoxib-Gel 10mg/30mg/50mg/100mg Ointment is only meant for external use and should be used strictly as advised by your doctor. Rub a thin layer of the medicine into the affected areas with clean and dry hands. Avoid getting in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth and avoid applying it on wounded or damaged skin. In case of accidental contact with these areas, you should rinse it with plenty of cold water.

Use of this medicine may cause common side effects such as burning or stinging sensation, irritation, itching, and redness at the site of application in some people. Usually, the side effects will slowly go away as your body gets used to it. If they get worse or do not go away, you should let your doctor know.

Although medicines used on the skin are not normally affected by other medicines you should let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicine to be safe. You should also let your doctor know if you have any medical conditions or disorders to make sure it is safe. Ask your doctor for advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

In Pain relief

How to use Cetoxib-Gel Ointment

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and gently massage the ointment.

How Cetoxib-Gel Ointment works

Cetoxib-Gel 10mg/30mg/50mg/100mg Ointment is a combination of four medicines: Etoricoxib, Linseed Oil, Menthol and Methyl Salicylate. Etoricoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain and inflammation (sweling). Linseed Oil is a plant-based oil which reduces swelling and improves blood circulation at the site of application. Additionally, it increases the penetration of Etoricoxib through the skin. Menthol and Methyl Salicylate are topical analgesics (pain relievers). They work by first cooling the skin, then warming it up. This action further increases blood circulation and distracts from feeling the pain.
