Etodolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is used to treat osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and mild to moderate pain.

Follow your doctor’s instructions and any patient guidelines carefully. It may take up to 2 weeks before symptoms improve. Before any medical test, inform the healthcare professional treating you that you are taking this drug; it may skew test results.

You should avoid alcohol, aspirin, and other NSAIDS while on this drug. Check with a pharmacist before taking any over-the-counter cold/allergy/pain medication.

Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, rash, and headache. Get emergency medical care at once if you suspect an overdose, allergic reaction, heart attack, or other serious reaction.
