etoricoxib 60mg

Anyone else on these for AS? Recently been diagnosed after 7 long years of pain !!! These seem to be working but I’ve heard you can’t be on these long term?

  1. Hey!, I'm on Etoricoxib, I got my diagnosis this year and it has been really helpful!

    1. Hi ,

      I took Etoricoxib 90mg (Nucoxia: Indian brand) from the day of diagnosis in 2007 till 2014. On some days I took 120mg as well. It is a NSAID which helps combat pain and inflammation. During 2014 my Sydney based Rheumatologist told me to stop this because he suspected it is the cause of the stomach ulcers caused due to prolonged usage of this NSAID. However due to this, I was able to carry out my daily functions for such a long time so it is a good drug for me.

      Thank You,
