Not recommended Legal status POMUK Routes Oral Etoricoxib brand name Arcoxia worldwide; also Algix and Tauxib in Italy is a new COX-2 selective inhibitor approx. 106.0 times more selective for COX-2 inhibition over COX-1 from Merck Co. Doses are 60, 90 mg/day for chronic pain and 120 mg/day for acute pain. Currently it is approved in more than 60 countries worldwide but not in the US, where the Food and Drug Administration FDA require additional safety and efficacy data for etoricoxib before it will issue approval. Current therapeutic indications are: treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, chronic low back pain, acute pain and gout. Note that approved indications differ by country. Like any other COX-2 selective inhibitor, Etoricoxib selectively inhibits isoform 2 of cyclo-oxigenase enzyme COX-2. This reduces the generation of prostaglandins PGs from arachidonic acid. Among the different functions exerted by PGs, their role in the inflammation cascade should be highlighted. COX-2 selective inhibitor aka COXIB showed less marked activity on type 1 cycloxigenase compared to traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAID. This reduced activity is the cause of reduced gastrointestinal toxicity, as demonstrated in several large clinical trials performed with different COXIB see below links on NEJM and The Lancet. Some clinical trials and meta-analysis showed that treatment with some COXIBs in particular Vioxx, rofecoxib led to increased incidence of adverse cardiovascular events compared to placebo. Because of these results, some molecules were withdrawn from the market Rofecoxib, September 2004 and Valdecoxib, April 2005. In addition, the FDA and EMEA USA and European Community Health Authorities respectively started a revision process of the entire class of both NSAID and COX-2 inhibitors. FDA concluded its revision on April 6, 2005: the final document can be found at: http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/COX2/NSAIDdecisionMemo.pdf EMEA concluded its revision on June 27, 2005: the final document can be found at: http://www.emea.europa.eu/pdfs/human/press/pr/20776605en.pdf On April 27, 2007, the Food and Drug Administration issued Merck a non-approvable letter for Arcoxia. The letter said Merck needs to provide more test results showing that Arcoxia's benefits outweigh its risks before it has another chance of getting approved.
