Combination Pain Relief
PRECOXIB-75
PREGABALIN 75MG+ ETORICOXIB 60MG PROLONGED RELEASE TABLET
A dual-action medication combining Pregabalin and Etoricoxib to provide broad-spectrum relief from complex pain syndromes involving both neuropathic and inflammatory components.
Individual Components & Actions
- Pregabalin (75mg): An anticonvulsant that targets neuropathic (nerve) pain by reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain and interfering with pain signals from damaged nerves.
- Etoricoxib (60mg): A selective COX-2 inhibitor (NSAID) that provides powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects by blocking chemical messengers responsible for inflammation and swelling.
Primary Uses & Mechanism
Prescribed For:
- Chronic pain conditions with both inflammatory and neuropathic elements.
- Pain associated with Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis.
- Complex pain syndromes where single-agent therapy is insufficient.
How They Work Together:
- Pregabalin specifically targets and calms nerve-related pain.
- Etoricoxib reduces inflammation and the general pain it causes.
- This synergistic combination provides broader and more effective pain relief than either medication used alone.
Considerations & Side Effects

- Pregabalin can cause drowsiness and dizziness; use caution when operating machinery.
- Etoricoxib may carry cardiovascular risks; use with caution in patients with heart conditions.
- Both medications can interact with other drugs. Inform your doctor of all medications you are taking.
