How To Use Etodolac (Lodine)
Etodolac comes in the form of a tablet, capsule, and extended-release tablet. The tablets and capsules are taken 2-3 times a day. The extended-release tablets are taken once daily. Try to take the medicine at around the same times every day.
Read the prescription label and patient information leaflet carefully. Follow your doctor’s dosing instructions. Do not take a higher dose or more frequent dose without your doctor’s approval.
Swallow the extended-release tablets whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew them.
It can take 1-2 weeks to get the full benefits of etodolac. This nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug may help to control your symptoms but will not cure the underlying condition. Due to the risks associated with NSAID use, your doctor may lower your etodolac dose once your symptoms are under control.
Missed dose: If you miss a dose of etodolac, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose according to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose or extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.
Storage: Store etodolac at room temperature (between 15-30° C or 59-86° F) away from moisture, heat, and direct light in a tightly closed container. Do not store medications in the bathroom where they can be exposed to moisture and heat. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Unused medicine: Unused etodolac should be disposed of in a way that children, other people, and pets cannot get to them. Do not throw etodolac in the trash or flush it down the toilet. The best way to dispose of expired or unneeded etodolac is through a drug take-back program. Learn more about proper medication disposal.
