WARNINGS AND PRECAUTION

- Risk of cardiovascular thrombosis:

+Clinical trials suggest that the selective COX-2 inhibitor class of drugs may be associated with a risk of thrombotic events (especially myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke), relative to placebo and some NSAIDs. As the cardiovascular risks of etoricoxib may increase with dose and duration of exposure, the shortest duration possible and the lowest effective daily dose should be used. The risk of cardiovascular thrombosis was observed mainly at high doses.

+ Physicians should periodically evaluate the occurrence of cardiovascular events, even if the patient hasn't prior cardiovascular symptoms. Patients should be alerted to the symptoms of a serious cardiovascular event and should seek medical attention as soon as these symptoms appear.

+ To reduce the risk of adverse events, etoricoxib should be used at the shortest duration possible and the lowest effective daily dose.

- Patients with significant risk factors for cardiovascular events (e.g. hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking) should only be treated with etoricoxib after careful consideration.

- Etoricoxib may be associated with more frequent and severe hypertension than some other NSAIDs and selective COX-2 inhibitors, particularly at high doses. Therefore, hypertension should be controlled before treatment with etoricoxib and special attention should be paid to blood pressure monitoring during treatment with etoricoxib.

- Caution should be used when initiating treatment with etoricoxib in patients with dehydration. It is advisable to rehydrate patients prior to starting therapy with etoricoxib.

- Medically appropriate supervision should be maintained when using etoricoxib in the elderly and in patients with renal, hepatic, or cardiac dysfunction. If during treatment, patients deteriorate in any of the organ system functions described above, appropriate measures should be taken and discontinuation of etoricoxib therapy should be considered.

- Etoricoxib should be used with caution in patients with a prior history of perforated and bleeding peptic ulcer and the elderly
