CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Etoricoxib is indicated in adults and adolescents 16 years of age and

older for
the short-term treatment of moderate pain associated with dental
surgery.
The decision to prescribe a selective COX-2 inhibitor should be based
on an
assessment of the individual patient's overall risks (see sections
4.3, 4.4).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
As the cardiovascular risks of etoricoxib may increase with dose and
duration
of exposure, the shortest duration possible and the lowest effective
daily dose
should be used. The patient's need for symptomatic relief and response
to
therapy should be re-evaluated periodically, especially in patients
with
osteoarthritis (see sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.8 and 5.1).
_ _
_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 is 90 mg once daily.
_ _
_Ankylosing spondylitis _
The recommended dose is 90 mg once daily.
For acute pain conditions, etoricoxib should be used only for the
acute
symptomatic period.

The recommended dose is 120 mg once daily. In clinical trials for
acute gout
