Brief Summary  
Now a days, most people are suffering from arthritis. In arthritis conditions, severe pain will be present. Etoricoxib is one of the drugs used to relieve pain in arthritis patients. Etoricoxib is more effective, but it will cause some ADRs in patients, such as cardiovascular problems and renal and gastrointestinal problems. Myrlimax capsules are also used in the treatment of arthritis patients. It is more effective in reducing pain, and it also has fewer side effects. It has more properties, like being gastroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic. So in the study, we developed the safety efficacy of myrlimax capsules in comparison with etoricoxib. A total of 30 male and female subjects of age between 40 and 75 years will be included in the study. Assessment of inclusion and exclusion criteria will be done based on clinical and laboratory investigations. The eligible subjects will be randomized as per the computer-ggenerated randomization list. The subjects will be assigned to either one of the study groups (myrlimax capsule or etoricoxib). The participants will be instructed to take capsules daily in the morning and evening for 30 days. Apart from primary and secondary outcomes, the study will also record vital signs and adverse events to evaluate herbal composition safety and tolerability. The safety assessment of myrlimax capsules will also include routine laboratory investigations on blood, urine, and clinical chemistry at screening and the final visit of the investigation.
