Arcoxia

The recommended dose of Arcoxia is 60 mg once a day. Your doctor may increase the dose to a maximum of 90 mg once daily if needed. It is important to take Arcoxia exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment.

You can take Arcoxia with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Each Arcoxia tablet contains 60 mg or 90 mg of etoricoxib as the active ingredient. The tablets also contain other ingredients such as calcium hydrogen phosphate, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and lactose monohydrate.

Common side effects of Arcoxia may include headache, dizziness, stomach pain, and high blood pressure. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include signs of intestinal bleeding, allergic reactions, liver problems, and heart failure. If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or weakness on one side of the body, seek medical help promptly.

Do not take Arcoxia if you are allergic to etoricoxib or any other ingredients in the tablet. Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, or kidney or liver problems. Avoid using Arcoxia if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant. If you have heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, or are a smoker, discuss the risks and benefits of using Arcoxia with your healthcare provider.
