Manufacturer: Getz Pharma

Quantity:

10 tablets per pack

INDICATION

Starcox 120mg Tab is a selective COX-2 inhibitor prescribed for the short-term management of acute pain, including post-surgical and acute dental pain, acute gouty arthritis, and primary dysmenorrhea. It is also indicated for the long-term treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis in adults. The 120mg dose is the highest available strength and is typically used for the first eight days of acute conditions before stepping down to lower doses for chronic management. Starcox provides powerful anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects while offering a more favorable gastrointestinal safety profile than non-selective NSAIDs.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Etoricoxib selectively inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme, which is responsible for producing prostaglandins at sites of inflammation, pain, and injury. Unlike non-selective NSAIDs that inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2, etoricoxib specifically targets COX-2, reducing the production of inflammatory prostaglandins without significantly affecting COX-1, which protects the stomach lining. This selective action provides effective pain relief and reduces swelling, redness, and stiffness while substantially lowering the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding that are common with traditional NSAIDs. It is taken once daily due to its long half-life.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

•      Acute pain (post-surgical, dental): 120mg once daily for up to eight days maximum.

•      Acute gout: 120mg once daily for up to eight days.

•      Osteoarthritis: 30mg to 60mg once daily, long-term.

•      Rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis: 60mg to 90mg once daily.

•      Take with or without food; swallow whole with water at the same time each day.

SIDE EFFECTS

•      Common: Headache, dizziness, hypertension, peripheral edema, dyspepsia, nausea.

•      Less common: Elevated liver enzymes, palpitations, fluid retention, skin reactions, upper GI events.

NOT RECOMMENDED IN

Starcox 120mg Tab is contraindicated in patients with active peptic ulceration or gastrointestinal bleeding. It should not be used in patients with established ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, or cerebrovascular disease. It is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment. Not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester. Patients with sulfonamide hypersensitivity and those who have experienced aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease should avoid this medication.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Etoricoxib can significantly increase plasma concentrations of warfarin; INR must be closely monitored, especially during initiation and dose changes. Co-administration with lithium elevates lithium levels and increases the risk of toxicity. ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and diuretics may have reduced antihypertensive and natriuretic effects when combined with etoricoxib, and renal function should be monitored. Concurrent use with other NSAIDs or aspirin at anti-inflammatory doses is not recommended. Oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapies may show elevated plasma levels due to COX-2 inhibition effects on estrogen metabolism.
