Etodolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Doctors prescribe it to relieve pain and inflammation from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It’s available as a capsule, typically in 200mg or 300mg strengths.
How Etodolac Works
Etodolac inhibits the production of prostaglandins, substances contributing to pain and swelling. This mechanism reduces inflammation and eases discomfort associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your specific needs and health condition.
Important Considerations
While generally safe, Etodolac carries potential side effects like stomach upset, nausea, and dizziness. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions, including kidney or liver problems, before starting treatment. Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and duration of treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
