About Etomax P 400 mg/500 mg Tablet

ETODOLAC+PARACETAMOL belongs to the class of medications called ‘analgesics’ used to treat pain associated with chronic (long-term) conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, etc. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative bone disease in which the tissue supporting the joints wears down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition in which the immune system attacks its own tissue leading to joint pain and inflammation. Ankylosing spondylitis is the inflammation of the spine and large joints.

ETODOLAC+PARACETAMOL contains Etodolac and Paracetamol. Etodolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and Paracetamol is an analgesic. They act by blocking the production of chemical substances called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. The inhibition of these substances can cause a decrease in symptoms such as pain, joint stiffness, and tenderness.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of ETODOLAC+PARACETAMOL are nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness, headache, tiredness, rash, ringing in your ears, and clay or black-colored stools, and increased heartbeat. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.
