Abstract

Pain is the most important clinical symptom of chronic musculoskeletal diseases. It is fundamental for diagnosis and treatment to distinguish inflammatory from non-inflammatory pain. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, in particular cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors (coxibs), including etoricoxib, play an important role in the pharmacotherapy of osteoarthritis and chronic arthritis. Etoricoxib is registered in the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout. The mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics and a wide range of doses enable individualization of therapy and use in various groups of patients.
