Etoricoxib

Used For

Osteoarthritis

How it works

Etoricoxib is an oral, selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. Etoricoxib produced dose-dependent inhibition of COX-2 without inhibition of COX-1 at doses up to 150mg daily. Etoricoxib does not inhibit gastric prostaglandin synthesis and has no effect on platelet function. Selective inhibition of COX-2 by etoricoxib decreases the synthesis of prostanoid mediators of pain, inflammation and fever with decreased potential for GI toxicity and effects on platelet aggregation.

Berica Tablets Precautions

Berica Tablets Warnings

Warning 1

Patients with significant risk factors for cardiovascular events (e.g., hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking) should only be treated with etoricoxib after careful consideration.

Warning 2

COX-2 selective inhibitors are not a substitute for acetylsalicylic acid for prophylaxis of cardiovascular thrombo-embolic diseases because of their lack of antiplatelet effect. Therefore antiplatelet therapies should not be discontinued.

Warning 3

In compromised renal perfusion, administration of etoricoxib may cause a reduction in prostaglandin formation and secondarily, in renal blood flow and thereby impair renal function. Monitoring of renal function in such patients should be considered.
