Nucoxia P Tablet

Introduction

Nucoxia P Tablet is a combination medication used for the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with various conditions such as arthritis, musculoskeletal disorders, and post-surgical pain. It contains **Etoricoxib** and **Paracetamol**, which work together to provide effective relief from pain and inflammation while minimizing discomfort.
