Frequently asked questions about etodolac

Medically reviewed by:Jessica Swirble, PharmD

Etodolac is a prescription medication used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. It is available under the brand name Lodine, and generic versions are also available.

Etodolac belongs to the drug class known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are commonly used to manage pain and inflammation.

Please note that you will need a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to obtain this medication.

Etodolac is primarily prescribed for the management of various conditions associated with pain and inflammation. This includes relief for symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Etodolac also may be prescribed for acute pain.

Osteoarthritis is caused by normal wear and tear on a joint’s cartilage. This breakdown causes the cushion between bones to deteriorate. As it does so, bones grind directly on one another, causing joint pain, stiffness, and tenderness. Simultaneously, the connective tissue that holds muscle to the bone may break down, leading to additional joint pain and swelling.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the soft tissue in the joints. As this tissue is destroyed, the joints become damaged. In addition to joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis may also cause fatigue, fever, and a loss of appetite.

Etodolac works to treat the stiffness and pain caused by these conditions. It’s important to note that etodolac will not cure these conditions. Instead, it helps improve quality of life by reducing symptoms of these forms of arthritis.

Etodolac belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work by blocking enzymes called cyclooxygenases (COX), specifically COX-1 and COX-2, which play a pivotal role in producing prostaglandins—chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation. By inhibiting these enzymes, NSAIDs lower the levels of prostaglandins, subsequently alleviating pain and decreasing inflammation.

While using etodolac, some individuals may experience side effects, although not everyone will.

Mild side effects may include:

  • Upset stomach or indigestion
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Gas
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Runny nose
  • Ringing in the ears

More severe side effects may include:

  • Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers (signs may include black, tarry stools or vomiting blood)
  • Allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing)
  • Fast or irregular heartbeat
  • Urination problems
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Increase in liver enzymes
  • Stroke or heart attack

It's important to inform your healthcare provider if you experience any side effects or have concerns about taking this medication.

Before starting treatment with etodolac, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements, as they may interact with etodolac.

Specifically, discuss any history of:

  • Allergies to NSAIDs or aspirin
  • Asthma
  • Gastrointestinal problems or ulcers
  • High blood pressure
  • Kidney or liver disease
  • Heart disease or risk factors
  • Bleeding disorders

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using etodolac to assess potential risks and benefits.

The recommended etodolac dosage may vary depending on the specific medical condition being treated, individual factors, and your healthcare provider's guidance. It is typically taken orally in tablet or capsule form.

For arthritis, the usual dose is taken once or twice daily with food or as directed by your healthcare provider. For pain management, the dosing regimen may vary based on your healthcare provider's instructions.

Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosing and other recommendations for taking etodolac. Do not discontinue or alter your dosage without consulting your doctor, as this can affect the medication's effectiveness.

Store etodolac as directed by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Proper storage is essential to maintain the medication's effectiveness. Typically, etodolac should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat, light, and moisture.

Keep the medication out of the reach of children and ensure that the container is tightly closed.

Etodolac is available by prescription only. A licensed healthcare provider must authorize the use of this medication.
