Nucoxia PG Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Etoricoxib (60 mg): This component selectively inhibits an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The enzyme plays a key role in producing prostaglandins, which cause inflammation and pain. By blocking COX-2, etoricoxib effectively reduces inflammation and pain.
Pregabalin (75 mg): This ingredient works by attaching itself to specific sites in the nervous system, which control the release of certain neurotransmitters that send pain signals. By doing so, pregabalin reduces the level of these neurotransmitters, decreasing the intensity of pain signals reaching the brain.
