Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

The Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee recommends etoricoxib as a treatment option for the treatment of pain and inflammation in line with the product licence*.

Etoricoxib will be considered as GREEN on the traffic light system as a 2nd line COX-2 inhibitor (after celecoxib) for use where a COX-2 inhibitor is indicated.

If etoricoxib is indicated for the treatment of gouty arthritis then etoricoxib should be considered before celecoxib as it is licensed for this indication.

*Licenced for: Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, acute gouty arthritis

The branded product, Arcoxia, is considered BLACK. Please prescribe generically for this indication.
