Hi--
Is anyone taking Etodolac?.
My Doctor took me off Vioxx, adding that there is too much uncertainty with
Cox-2 type medicines right now. So there will be no prescribing of Celebrex
or Bextra.
AT first, Bomic (sp?) was going to be prescribed, but then a change came to
Etodolac. I cannot determine why it was changed. It may be side effects, or
a problem with compatibility because I take many other medicines. I asked,
but didn't really get any answer. "Course now, with all the Cox-2 stuff, who
wouldn't be cautious.
I'm looking for info, if anyone is on it, or was on it, and any info that
may be helpful. Since I am Diabetic type 2 plus insulin, plus severe DDD,
plus strokes and heart attacks,plus other stuff, I want to hear other
people's experiences.
I'm not looking for someone to "prescribe", but rather, uselul info and
experiences, so I can develop a well balanced overview.
Thanks!
Ron

My husband uses Etodolac, and takes Cytotec with it to protect his stomach
lining. Etodolac words very well for him. Ask your doctor about Cytotec.

Bomic = Mobic - dubious, at best, claims of COX2 specificity but is run of
the mill albeit extremely expensive NSAID.
Still waiting for all the shoes to drop on the COX2s so back to the drawing
board and prescribing the formerly tried and true NSAIDs.
