What is Etozox 60mg?
Etozox 60mg is a once-a-day anti-inflammatory tablet from Cipla. Each tablet contains 60 mg of etoricoxib, the active ingredient in Arcoxia. The 60 mg strength is the standard dose for osteoarthritis.
Etoricoxib is used outside the USA for arthritis pain, chronic low back pain and short-term pain relief. If you need a stronger dose for rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis, see Etozox 90mg.
How Etoricoxib Works
Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor, in the same family as celecoxib. It blocks the enzyme that produces inflammatory prostaglandins at the site of pain and swelling, while largely sparing the COX-1 enzyme that protects the stomach lining.
Its long half-life — about 22 hours — means one tablet a day is enough. It is widely prescribed in Europe, the UK, Latin America and Asia, but it has not been approved by the FDA and is not sold in U.S. pharmacies. The FDA’s concern was the risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular events.
How to Take Etozox 60mg
- Osteoarthritis: one 60 mg tablet once a day.
- Take it at the same time each day, with or without food. It starts relieving pain within about an hour.
- Do not take more than one tablet a day for osteoarthritis — higher doses add side effects, not much extra relief.
- Have your blood pressure checked within two weeks of starting, then regularly.

Side Effects
Etoricoxib is generally well tolerated for short courses. The side effects to watch for are those of all NSAIDs, plus a tendency to raise blood pressure.
Common and usually mild:
- Raised blood pressure
- Swelling of the ankles or fluid retention
- Indigestion, heartburn or stomach pain
- Headache or dizziness
- Tiredness
Stop and get medical help right away if you have:
- Black, tarry or bloody stools, or vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds — signs of stomach bleeding.
- Chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness on one side of the body or slurred speech — NSAIDs can raise the risk of heart attack and stroke.
- Swelling of the face, lips or throat, wheezing, or a widespread rash — a possible allergic reaction.
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes, or dark urine — possible liver problems.
- Passing much less urine than usual, or swelling of the legs and ankles.
Who Should Not Take It
Do not use Etozox if you:
- Are allergic to etoricoxib, or have had asthma, hives or a reaction after taking aspirin or any other NSAID.
- Have an active stomach ulcer or bleeding in the stomach or bowel, or have had one in the past.
- Have severe heart failure, or are about to have (or have just had) heart bypass surgery.
- Have severe kidney or liver disease.
- Are in the last three months of pregnancy.
- Have high blood pressure that is not well controlled.
- Have coronary heart disease, peripheral artery disease or have had a stroke or mini-stroke (TIA).
Talk to a doctor first if you:
- Have heart disease, high blood pressure or have had a stroke, or smoke.
- Take a blood thinner (warfarin, apixaban, clopidogrel), low-dose aspirin, an SSRI antidepressant, steroids, lithium, methotrexate, or a blood-pressure medicine such as an ACE inhibitor, ARB or diuretic.
- Are over 65, drink alcohol regularly, or have had stomach problems in the past.
- Are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding.
Do not take two NSAIDs together — that includes over-the-counter ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin. Use the lowest dose that controls your pain for the shortest time.
Please consult your doctor before using this medicine.
