A member asked:
Do you usually recommend taking a ppi with cox 2 inhibitor nsaids treatment such as eterocoxib 60 mg for 14 days ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Commonly done in practice for stomach protection due to risk for gastric ulcers. Etoricoxib is not approved in US for use, closest would be celecoxib or Celebrex, and its potential to cause gastric ulcers is less than the risk with non selective NSAIDS.
