Etorlee is een orale tablet van etoricoxib, available in the complete strength range used in clinical practice. This gives Etorlee an unusually broad therapeutic role — the same patient may be prescribed 60 mg long-term for osteoarthritis, 90 mg during a rheumatoid-arthritis flare, and 120 mg short-course for an episode of acute gout — all from the same brand.
Which Etorlee Strength for Which Condition?
| Sterkte | Indicatie | Typical course |
|---|---|---|
| 60 mg | Osteoarthritis | Long-term, once daily, with review |
| 90 mg | Rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis | Ongoing, once daily, with review |
| 120 mg | Acute gout, acute musculoskeletal/dental pain | Maximum 8 days |
Once symptoms are controlled on a higher strength, doctors typically step down to the lowest effective dose. 120 mg must not be used beyond 8 days.
What Is Etorlee Used For?
- Osteoarthritis (60 mg/day) — chronic joint pain, especially in patients at high risk of gastric ulcer
- Rheumatoid arthritis (90 mg/day)
- Ankylosing spondylitis (90 mg/day)
- Acute gout (120 mg/day for up to 8 days)
- Acute musculoskeletal pain (120 mg/day, short course)
- Post-operative dental pain (120 mg/day, usually 3 days)
How Does Etoricoxib Work?
Etoricoxib is a highly selective COX-2 inhibitor (“coxib”). It blocks the inflammation-driving cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme while largely sparing COX-1 — the enzyme responsible for stomach lining protection and normal platelet function. In practical terms, this produces strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relief effect with substantially lower risk of gastric ulcer and upper-GI bleeding than classical non-selective NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen).
Etoricoxib has a half-life of about 22 hours, which allows simple dagelijkse dosering, and reaches peak plasma concentration within 1 hour of an oral dose.
Etorlee Dosing
- Osteoarthritis: 60 mg once daily
- Rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis: 90 mg once daily
- Acute gout, acute pain: 120 mg once daily for up to 8 days only
- Leverfunctiestoornis: maximum 60 mg/day in mild (Child-Pugh A) and 60 mg every other day in moderate (Child-Pugh B); contraindicated in severe impairment
- Nierfunctiestoornis: not recommended if CrCl < 30 mL/min
- Ouderen: usual adult dose is fine; monitor BP and renal function
Take once daily with or without food. If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless the next dose is due within 12 hours — then skip.
GI safety. Etorlee (or its NSAID component) carries real risk of gastritis, peptic ulcer, and upper-GI bleeding. Risk is highest in patients over 65, in those with prior ulcer disease, and in anyone also on low-dose aspirin, corticosteroids, SSRIs, or anticoagulants. Take with food, at the lowest effective dose for the shortest reasonable time, and ask your doctor about adding a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole, pantoprazole) for courses over 2–4 weeks.
Who Should Not Take Etoricoxib?
- Known hypersensitivity to etoricoxib or any NSAID
- Active peptic ulcer or GI bleed
- Inflammatory bowel disease flare
- Congestive heart failure (NYHA II–IV) — etoricoxib is specifically contraindicated
- Established ischaemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, or cerebrovascular disease
- Uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure consistently above 140/90 mmHg — etoricoxib raises BP noticeably)
- Severe hepatic dysfunction (Child-Pugh C)
- Severe renal impairment (CrCl < 30 mL/min)
- Pregnancy (all trimesters) and breastfeeding
- Children under 16 years
- Aspirin- or NSAID-induced asthma, urticaria, or angioedema
- Recent CABG surgery
Veelvoorkomende bijwerkingen
- Common (1–10%): headache, dizziness, ankle swelling, raised blood pressure, dyspepsia, nausea, diarrhoea
- Minder vaak voorkomend: mild elevation of liver enzymes, palpitations, insomnia, bronchospasm, rash
- Zeldzaam maar ernstig: myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure aggravation, severe hepatotoxicity, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, acute kidney injury, anaphylaxis
Stop etoricoxib and seek urgent medical care if you develop chest pain, sudden-onset weakness or slurred speech, severe abdominal pain, blood in stools or vomit, yellowing of skin or eyes, or a blistering rash.

Veelgestelde vragen
What is Etorlee used for?
Etorlee (etoricoxib) is used for osteoarthritis (60 mg), rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis (90 mg), and acute gout or acute pain (120 mg, short course). Strength is matched to the indication.
How long does Etorlee take to work?
Peak plasma level is reached in about 1 hour; many patients notice pain relief within 30–60 minutes. Maximum anti-inflammatory effect in chronic arthritis builds over 2–3 weeks of regular dosing.
Is Etorlee safer than ibuprofen for the stomach?
Yes — substantially. The selective COX-2 mechanism spares the stomach-protective COX-1 enzyme, so ulcer and GI-bleed risk is much lower than with non-selective NSAIDs. It is still not risk-free.
What about Etorlee and heart disease?
Etoricoxib is contraindicated in established ischaemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, cerebrovascular disease, and congestive heart failure (NYHA II–IV). In patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors, use with caution and for the shortest reasonable course.
Can I take Etorlee with paracetamol?
Yes. Paracetamol acts on a different pathway and is commonly combined with etoricoxib for stronger analgesia.
Can I take Etorlee with aspirin?
Unlike ibuprofen, etoricoxib does not block low-dose aspirin’s cardioprotective effect. The combination does raise overall GI bleed risk; a proton pump inhibitor is usually co-prescribed.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Etorlee?
Light drinking is usually tolerated. Regular or heavy alcohol use raises GI bleed and liver risk — keep to a minimum during treatment.
Is Etorlee addictive?
No. Etoricoxib is not addictive and is not a controlled substance.
Is Etorlee safe in pregnancy?
No — etoricoxib is contraindicated throughout pregnancy and during breastfeeding. Paracetamol is the first-line pain reliever in pregnancy.
How long can I stay on 60 or 90 mg Etorlee?
Chronic long-term use is possible in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis at the lowest effective dose. Regular review of blood pressure, kidney function, and liver enzymes is recommended.
What’s the difference between Etorlee and Etoford?
Both are etoricoxib. Etorlee is offered in 60/90/120 mg, giving full indication flexibility. Etoford is typically supplied as 120 mg (though 60/90 mg variants exist) and is often chosen specifically for acute gout and acute pain.
