Effective pain management requires a thorough understanding of medication dosages, potential side effects, and safety protocols. Etoricoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, is a widely prescribed medication for various inflammatory and pain-related conditions. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. emphasizes the importance of informed usage, offering guidance on Etoricoxib's dosage and safety considerations for both medical professionals and patients.

The etoricoxib dosage is carefully determined based on the patient's specific condition. For osteoarthritis, a common starting dose is 30 mg once daily, which can be increased to a maximum of 60 mg if necessary. For rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, the recommended dosage typically begins at 60 mg once daily, with a potential increase to 90 mg. For acute gouty arthritis, a higher dose of 120 mg once daily is usually prescribed for a limited duration of up to eight days. Following dental surgery, a dose of 90 mg once daily for up to three days is often recommended. It is critical to adhere to these guidelines and use the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary period to manage pain effectively.

Understanding the potential side effects is crucial for safe usage. Common side effects of Etoricoxib can include stomach pain, dizziness, and swelling due to fluid retention. However, more serious side effects, though rare, necessitate immediate medical attention. These include symptoms of liver problems (jaundice), severe gastrointestinal bleeding (black stools, blood in vomit), and allergic reactions manifesting as skin rashes or swelling of the face and throat. Patients with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, high blood pressure, or a history of ulcers must discuss these risks with their doctor.

Etoricoxib drug interactions are also an important consideration. Etoricoxib can interact with blood thinners like warfarin, certain antibiotics like rifampicin, and medications used to suppress the immune system. It can also affect blood pressure when taken with diuretics or ACE inhibitors. Concurrent use with acetylsalicylic acid increases the risk of stomach ulcers. Therefore, a comprehensive review of all medications with a healthcare provider is essential before starting Etoricoxib.
