The decision to prescribe a selective COX-2 inhibitor should be based
on an assessment
of the individual patient’s overall risks, taking into consideration
other available therapeutic
options. (see Section 6 ‘Contraindications’ and Section 7
‘Special warning and precautions
for use’).
5.
Dosage and administration
Etoricoxib is administered orally and may be taken with or without
food. The onset of drug
effect may be faster when etoricoxib is administered without food.
This should be
considered when rapid symptomatic relief is needed. Etoricoxib should
be administered
for the shortest duration possible and the lowest effective daily dose
should be used.
Osteoarthritis
The recommended dose is 30 mg once daily. In some patients with
insufficient relief from
symptoms, an increased dose of 60 mg once daily may increase efficacy.
In the absence
of an increase in therapeutic benefit, other therapeutic options
should be considered.
Rheumatoid arthritis
The recommended dose
