Avoid Etodolac if you have a known allergy to this medication or other NSAIDs. Inform your doctor about any current medications, including aspirin, blood thinners, and other NSAIDs, before starting Etodolac.
Report any signs of stomach upset, such as heartburn, nausea, or abdominal pain, to your physician immediately. These can indicate potential gastrointestinal complications.
Etodolac can increase the risk of bleeding, especially in individuals already at higher risk due to medical conditions or concurrent medication use. Discuss this risk with your doctor if you have a history of bleeding disorders or take anticoagulants.
Kidney or liver problems can be worsened by Etodolac. Consult your doctor if you have pre-existing kidney or liver disease.
Use caution while operating machinery or driving a vehicle. Drowsiness is a potential side effect.
Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Higher doses do not necessarily provide greater relief and may increase the risk of side effects.
Older adults may be more susceptible to side effects from Etodolac and should use it with increased caution. Dosage adjustments may be necessary.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctors before using Etodolac, as the safety profile in these groups is not fully established.
Stop taking Etodolac and consult your doctor immediately if you experience allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
