Arcoxia (Etoricoxib) Buyer and Patient Handbook in Singapore
What is Arcoxia?
Arcoxia is a brand-name tablet of etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor used to relieve Pain and inflammation. It belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class and is approved for conditions such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, and acute pain after surgery. In Singapore, Arcoxia is regulated by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and is available in 60 mg, 90 mg and 120 mg pill strengths.
Who Should Use Arcoxia?
- Adults with moderate to severe musculoskeletal pain or inflammatory arthritis
- Patients who need long-term anti-inflammatory therapy but have gastrointestinal tolerance issues with non-selective NSAIDs
- Individuals without a history of cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled Hypertension, or severe liver/kidney impairment
How Does It Work?
Arcoxia blocks the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is a key step in producing prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and fever. By sparing COX-1, it reduces the risk of stomach irritation compared with traditional NSAIDs. Do not use if you have a known allergy to etoricoxib or other COX-2 inhibitors.
Why Choose Arcoxia?
As a branded formulation, Arcoxia offers consistent bioavailability and is backed by extensive clinical data on efficacy and safety. Generic versions of etoricoxib are also available in Singapore, providing a lower-cost alternative with comparable therapeutic effect. Off-label uses-such as for Migraine relief-should only be considered after discussing risks with a healthcare professional.

Reviews
Started on 60mg for my lower back pain last month. The relief is definitely there, pain went from a 7 to a 2. But the dizziness hit me hard for the first few days. I learned to take it right after my breakfast, that helps a lot. Still a bit worried about long-term use though, my aunt said it's strong stuff.
Got prescribed this for my knee osteoarthritis. It's been a week on 90mg. Pain is better when I'm sitting, but standing up is still a struggle. The worst part is the stomach discomfort, feels bloated all the time. Doctor said to give it more time. Trying to take it with a big glass of water and a banana.
Been on Arcoxia 60mg for over a year for chronic tendinitis. It's the only thing that lets me go jogging. The key is to not take it on an empty stomach, or you'll get heartburn. I split my 120mg pills sometimes if the pain is mild, saves some money. Blood pressure needs monitoring, my doc checks it every 3 months.
Two years on 90mg for ankylosing spondylitis. It keeps me functional, but the trade-off is dry mouth and occasional headaches. I found that drinking a LOT of water throughout the day is non-negotiable. Skipping a dose by accident reminds me how much pain I'm usually in. It's a necessary evil for now.
Using 120mg for gout flares. Works faster than the colchicine I used to take, knocks the pain down in a few hours. But if I take it for more than 3 days in a row, my ankles get puffy. So I only use it as a rescue med, not daily. Also, it's quite pricey here in Indonesia compared to other painkillers.
My rheumatologist put me on Arcoxia 90mg daily. The inflammation in my hands is much better, but my sleep has been messed up. I take it in the morning now, but I still feel a bit 'wired' at night. On the plus side, it doesn't upset my stomach like ibuprofen did. Small wins.
Strange one. It works wonders for my period cramps, completely eliminates them. But I get this weird tingling sensation in my feet when I take it. Doctor says it's not a common side effect but it's definitely from the pill. So I only resort to it when the pain is unbearable, maybe once a cycle.
Been on and off Arcoxia for years. It's effective, no doubt. But you have to be smart about it. Always with food, avoid alcohol completely (learned that the hard way), and take the lowest dose that works. I rotate it with paracetamol sometimes to give my body a break. It's a tool, not a cure.
