Eceoxia
Eceoxia (etoricoxib) is a selective COX-2 inhibitor used to treat pain and inflammation associated with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout. By selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, Eceoxia reduces the production of prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. This selective action helps to minimize the gastrointestinal side effects that are commonly associated with traditional NSAIDs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for Eceoxia to start working?
Eceoxia typically begins to relieve pain and reduce inflammation within a few hours of taking the first dose. Maximum effects are usually seen after a few days of consistent use.
Can I take Eceoxia with food?
Yes, Eceoxia can be taken with or without food. If you experience stomach discomfort, taking it with food may help reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Eceoxia?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take your next one at the regular time. Do not double up on doses.
Is Eceoxia safe for long-term use?
Eceoxia may be used long-term under medical supervision, but regular monitoring of kidney, liver, and cardiovascular health is necessary due to potential risks associated with prolonged use.
Can Eceoxia cause heart problems?
Yes, long-term use of Eceoxia may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, particularly in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions or those taking it for an extended period. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Eceoxia Work?
Eceoxia works by selectively inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme, which is responsible for the production of prostaglandins involved in inflammation and pain. By blocking COX-2, Eceoxia reduces inflammation and provides pain relief, while sparing the COX-1 enzyme that protects the stomach lining, leading to fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to non-selective NSAIDs.
Common Dosages
- Tablets: 60 mg, 90 mg, 120 mg
Typical Dosing
- For osteoarthritis: The typical dose is 60 mg once daily.
- For rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis: The usual dose is 90 mg once daily.
- For acute gout: 120 mg once daily for a limited period.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Acute gouty arthritis
- Chronic musculoskeletal pain
Who Shouldn't Take Eceoxia?
- Known hypersensitivity to etoricoxib or other COX-2 inhibitors
- Severe liver or kidney impairment
- History of gastrointestinal bleeding or peptic ulcers
- Severe heart failure or coronary artery disease
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Take Eceoxia exactly as prescribed, usually once a day with or without food.
- Avoid taking Eceoxia with other NSAIDs, as this can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or cardiovascular events.
- If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or signs of a severe allergic reaction (such as swelling or difficulty breathing), seek medical attention immediately.
- Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function may be recommended for long-term use.

Risks and Warnings of Eceoxia
- Cardiovascular Risks: Eceoxia may increase the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke, especially with long-term use or in individuals with pre-existing heart conditions.
- Gastrointestinal Risks: While Eceoxia is selective for COX-2, it can still cause gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, or perforation, particularly in individuals with a history of gastrointestinal disorders.
- Kidney and Liver Damage: Eceoxia can impair kidney and liver function, particularly in individuals with pre-existing conditions affecting these organs.
Interactions with Eceoxia
Common Drug Interactions
- Anticoagulants: Eceoxia may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with blood thinners like warfarin.
- Diuretics and ACE inhibitors: These medications may reduce the effectiveness of Eceoxia and increase the risk of kidney damage.
- Aspirin: Taking Eceoxia with aspirin can increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, such as ulcers and bleeding.
Alternatives to Eceoxia
- Celecoxib (Celebrex): Another COX-2 inhibitor used for the treatment of pain and inflammation in conditions like arthritis.
- Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin): A non-selective NSAID used for pain and inflammation.
- Naproxen (Aleve): Another non-selective NSAID, often used for arthritis and musculoskeletal pain.
