Please note that the medicine has been prescribed by your doctor based on your test results.
If you experience any disturbing symptoms related to taking the drug, you should see a doctor to consult a therapy regimen.
For osteoarthritis, the recommended dose is 30 mg once a day. In some patients with inadequate symptom relief, increasing the dose to 60 mg once daily may increase efficacy. If there is no improvement in therapeutic benefit, other treatments should be considered.
The medicinal product should be used for as short a time as possible and at the lowest effective daily dose, as the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with the use of etoricoxib may increase with dose and duration of treatment.
In the meantime, I encourage you to learn about the possible side effects of Kostarox.
Here you can check the availability of the drug with the possibility of reserving it at the pharmacy:
