ETODO 400/4 10'S

About

ETODO 400/4 is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing Etodolac, primarily utilized for its potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It functions by selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, particularly COX-2, which are largely responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins—chemical mediators in the body that trigger pain, inflammation, and fever. This targeted action helps to reduce pain and swelling associated with various inflammatory conditions while potentially minimizing some of the gastrointestinal side effects seen with non-selective NSAIDs. It is highly effective in managing chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as providing relief for acute pain, by offering symptomatic relief and improving functional capacity. Its therapeutic benefits contribute to enhanced patient comfort and improved quality of life for individuals suffering from inflammatory pain.

Safety Measures

• Pregnancy - Contraindicated in the third trimester due to potential harm to the fetus (e.g., premature closure of ductus arteriosus). Consult a doctor for use in earlier trimesters.
• Breastfeeding - Not recommended. Etodolac can pass into breast milk and may cause adverse effects in the infant. A doctor's advice is essential.
• Liver - Use with extreme caution in patients with liver impairment. Regular monitoring of liver function tests is crucial, and dosage adjustments may be necessary.
• Kidney - Contraindicated in severe renal impairment. Etodolac can impair kidney function; close monitoring of renal parameters is required for patients with mild to moderate impairment.
• Lung - Use with caution in asthmatic patients, especially those with aspirin-sensitive asthma, as NSAIDs can precipitate bronchospasm.
