Overview

Arcoxia 60mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Etoricoxib 60mg as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Arcoxia 60mg Tablet once daily, with or without food, swallowing the tablet whole with water. Do not exceed the dose or duration prescribed by your doctor.

Dosage

The usual dose of Arcoxia 60mg Tablet for osteoarthritis is 60mg once daily. Your doctor may prescribe a higher strength for other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or acute gout, and will determine the appropriate dose and duration – always use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.

Storage Instructions

Contraindications

  • Severe heart failure, ischaemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, or cerebrovascular disease

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Warfarin and other anticoagulants – increased risk of bleeding, requiring closer INR monitoring
  • Other NSAIDs or aspirin should not be combined, as this increases gastrointestinal and cardiovascular risk
  • ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and diuretics may have a reduced blood-pressure-lowering effect and there is an increased risk of kidney impairment when combined
  • Lithium and methotrexate clearance may be reduced, increasing the risk of toxicity

Quick Tips

  • Monitor your blood pressure regularly while on treatment
  • Report black stools or persistent stomach pain to your doctor promptly
