Etoricoxib benefit map Review article
Main Article Content
Abstract
Inflammatory pain is a consequence of the body’s defensive reaction to infections, tissue damage or autoimmune processes. Acute pain with an inflammatory component includes numerous pain complaints with which the patient consults a doctor. A key element in the treatment of inflammatory pain is the proper selection of medications. In inflammatory pain, of course, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are preferred, but it is worth remembering that there is no class effect in this group, which in practice means that when choosing a specific drug, we must know its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile. One of the drugs that is highly effective in the treatment of inflammatory pain is etoricoxib. The paper discusses the current indications and safety profile of etoricoxib in clinical practice.
