Arcoxia: Important Side Effects You Should Know & 3 Good Alternative Answers

What is Arcoxia Used For?

Arcoxia (Etoricoxib) is a selective COX-2 inhibitor, a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is primarily used to treat pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. Arcoxia is designed to reduce pain and swelling while having a lower risk of stomach ulcers compared to traditional NSAIDs. However, it still carries certain risks and side effects that should be considered before use.

Possible Side Effects of Arcoxia

Like other NSAIDs, Arcoxia can cause side effects, particularly with long-term use. Some common and serious side effects include:

  • Stomach upset, nausea, or indigestion
  • Increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers
  • Kidney issues, especially with prolonged use
  • Dizziness, headaches, or blurred vision
  • Increased risk of heart problems, especially with prolonged use

It is important to follow dosing instructions carefully and consult a healthcare provider if you have any concerns about side effects or long-term use.
