1 | Pulled muscle | I got a yeast infection after only taking it twice | F | 44 | 1 days 400 MG 2X day | 5/7/2022 | 1 | For a fractured sternum, arthritis, | Nausea, ringing ears, strange taste in mouth, diarrhea, dehydration, insomnia, worsening pain in chest, acid reflux. | This is a horrible medicine. Aleve worked way better with no side effects. | M | 51 | 3 days 400 3X day | 2/12/2021 | 5 | Neck and Back inflamation | None | It is great nerve pain relief. | F | 53 | 3 days 400mg 2X day | 11/10/2018 | 2 | Back pain | Read the side effects and I feel it is not worth it. I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and 60 and I don't feel my doctor took that into effect. Side effects are too scary for me to take Etodolac. I will just use otc medications with less side effects. Why would our government pass a drug like this is beyond me. | F | 60 | 1 days 200 | 2/17/2017 | 3 | back injury from fall off a ladder | very sleepy; viscious heartburn unless taken DURING a meal and pain does not subside depending on time of day I take it | Pharmacist told me to take one with breakfast and one with dinner. If I forgot the one at breakfast I took only one that day with lunch - pain did not subside. I have healed enough after 30ndays now to take one a day with dinner. I do not like this drug in the am because it makes me so sleepy and rather loopy - not alert. This drug gave me the worst heartburn unless I took it with a meal like this: eat a little - take the pill - finish the meal. Also I needed to drink two full glasses of water it order not to feel dehydrated because I am also on two other meds. Mostly though I was disappointed with the pain relieving value of this drug: even when I took it as directed the first week I was still in pain. The pharmacist told me to give it at least five days of strict adherence to dosing at regular times. I got more relief from this drug after 5 days than I did from an OTC one like Aleve. But I don't know what it would have been like had I taken Aleve regularly for 5 days. Just not real happy with this drug's effectiveness initially. | F | 56 | 1 months 400mg 2X day | 5/14/2014 | 4 | Pain used at a anti inflammatory | Mild headache. Drowsiness even in the daytime. | seems to be working | M | 34 | 6 days | 12/27/2004 |
ETODOLAC (ETODOLAC): Etodolac is used to relieve pain from various conditions. It also reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness from arthritis. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section.
