About ETOSAFE ER TABLET

ETOSAFE ER TABLET is 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.

 

ETOSAFE 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 ETOSAFE ER TABLET with or after food. You are advised to take ETOSAFE 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 ETOSAFE ER TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe ETOSAFE ER TABLET only if the benefits outweigh the risks. ETOSAFE ER TABLET may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. ETOSAFE ER TABLET is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with ETOSAFE ER TABLET as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. It could also increase the risk of stomach bleeding.
