Nothing to do: Etoricoxib (Arcoxia) is fairly long lasting, which is why it needs to be taken only once a day. It is entirely gone from the system in a few days after the last dose, certainly within a week. Nothing can be done to speed it up. Any symptoms beyond a week or so probably are not due to the drug.
