About Etozix ER Tablet

Etozix ER Tablet belongs to the group of pain killers known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) used to treat mild to moderate pain in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering (cartilage). Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) which leads to joint pain and damage.

 

Etozix ER Tablet works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

 

Take Etozix ER Tablet with or after food. You are advised to take Etozix ER Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as stomach pain, diarrhoea, indigestion, headache, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you should talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

 

Consult your doctor before taking Etozix ER Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe Etozix ER Tablet only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Etozix ER Tablet may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Etozix ER Tablet is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established.
