About Etova-Aq 2Ml Inj

Etova-Aq 2Ml Inj belongs to the group of pain killers known as NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) used to treat mild to moderate pain in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also used to treat post-operative pain. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering (cartilage). Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) which leads to joint pain and damage.

Etova-Aq 2Ml Inj contains 'Etodolac' that works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

Etova-Aq 2Ml Inj will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as stomach pain, diarrhoea, indigestion, headache, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you should talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe Etova-Aq 2Ml Inj only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Etova-Aq 2Ml Inj may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Etova-Aq 2Ml Inj is not recommended for children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Etova-Aq 2Ml Inj as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. It could also increase the risk of stomach bleeding.
