Etolife 400 mg Tablet

Etolife 400 mg Tablet contains 400 mg of etodolac in each tablet. Etodolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness from arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This tablet is taken by mouth and is meant for adults whose doctor has decided they need this specific 400 mg strength. Etolife 400 mg Tablet helps reduce inflammation so joints may move more comfortably.

How it works: Etodolac works by blocking enzymes that help make prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. As a tablet, Etolife 400 mg is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system to help ease arthritis symptoms throughout the day.

Etolife 400 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet compared with lower-dose etodolac options, so it is typically chosen when a doctor wants a stronger single dose for arthritis symptoms. Because it contains 400 mg in one tablet, it may be used for people who need less frequent dosing or a stronger effect than lower strengths, but it is not a starting dose for everyone.

• Osteoarthritis pain and stiffness
• Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms
• Inflammation-related joint pain
• Arthritis swelling and tenderness

• Swallow Etolife 400 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor; do not change the dose on your own.
• It may be taken with food, milk, or after a meal if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not crush, split, or chew unless your pharmacist or prescriber tells you it is okay.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time your doctor recommends.
• Avoid taking it with other NSAIDs unless your doctor specifically says to do so.

Each Etolife 400 mg Tablet provides 400 mg of etodolac. Depending on your condition and response, a doctor may prescribe it once or twice daily, but the exact schedule and maximum daily dose must be set by the prescriber. Because this is a higher-strength tablet, it should only be used when a clinician has evaluated that 400 mg per dose is appropriate.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
