CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Kostarox is indicated in adults and adolescents 16 years of age and
older for:
-
the symptomatic relief of osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis
(RA), ankylosing spondylitis,
and the pain and signs of inflammation associated with acute gouty
arthritis,
-
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 and 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 60 mg once daily. In some patients with
insufficient relief from symptoms,
an increased dose of 90 mg once daily may increase efficacy. Once the
patient is clinically stabilised,
