Etogesic SR Tablet 600 mg contains Etodolac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated for sustained-release therapy. It is primarily used for the management of pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and rheumatic disorders. Etogesic SR provides long-acting relief, reducing the frequency of dosing and improving patient adherence in the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and acute musculoskeletal pain.

Etodolac works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which decreases the production of prostaglandins, chemical mediators responsible for pain, inflammation, and swelling. Its sustained-release formulation ensures steady therapeutic levels in the bloodstream, providing prolonged analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects with once-daily dosing.

Composition

• Etodolac: 600 mg per sustained-release tablet

Indications

Etogesic SR Tablet 600 mg is indicated for:

• Osteoarthritis: Reduces joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation to improve mobility

• Rheumatoid arthritis: Alleviates chronic joint inflammation and discomfort

• Acute musculoskeletal pain: Provides relief from sprains, strains, and post-injury pain

• Postoperative pain management: Suitable for short-term relief after surgery

Mechanism of Action

Etodolac, the active component in Etogesic SR, is a non-selective NSAID that works by:

1. Inhibiting COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes: This decreases the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever.

2. Analgesic effect: Reduces both acute and chronic pain by lowering prostaglandin-mediated nerve sensitization.

3. Anti-inflammatory effect: Minimizes swelling, redness, and tenderness in affected joints or tissues.

4. Antipyretic action: Helps in lowering elevated body temperature in cases of inflammatory conditions.

The sustained-release technology ensures continuous therapeutic action, reducing peaks and troughs in drug concentration and providing long-lasting relief.

Dosage and Administration

• Route: Oral

• Dosage: As prescribed by a registered physician

The recommended dose is one sustained-release tablet once daily, taken after meals with water to minimize gastrointestinal irritation. The dosage may be adjusted based on the severity of symptoms and patient response. Long-term use should involve periodic monitoring of kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal function, especially in elderly patients or those with underlying conditions.
