NCT ID NCT07454369
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new tablet that combines two drugs—etoricoxib (for pain and inflammation) and betamethasone (a steroid)—to see how well it is absorbed compared to taking each drug separately. 42 healthy Mexican adults took a single dose of the combination pill or the individual drugs under fasting conditions. The goal was to measure drug levels in the blood and check for any side effects.
