Abstract

Etoricoxib is a selective COX-2 inhibitor (coxib) approved in the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (spondyloarthropathy) and gout. Randomised clinical trials have demonstrated its high analgesic and anti-inflammatory efficacy in large groups of patients. There is nearly twofold reduction in the relative risk for gastrointestinal side effects with etoricoxib in comparison to classic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Etoricoxib, similar to nonselective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, is contraindicated in patients with a high cardio-vascular risk.
