Vericox 120 mg Tablet

• 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.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: The recommended dose is 90 mg once daily.
• Ankylosing spondylitis: The recommended dose is 90 mg once daily.
• Acute gouty arthritis: The recommended dose is 120 mg once daily. In clinical trials for acute gouty arthritis, Etoricoxib was given for 8 days.
• Postoperative dental surgery pain: The recommended dose is 90 mg once daily, limited to a maximum of 3 days.

Some patients may require additional postoperative analgesia. 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.
