Taking Etoshine MR (etoricoxib/thiocolchicoside) for a long time is generally not recommended for you. This medication is an NSAID, which can unfortunately trigger flare-ups of your ulcerative colitis. For your safety, please avoid long-term use. To manage this bowel-disease-related arthritis, I highly recommend consulting your gastroenterologist alongside a rheumatologist. They can collaborate to find a gut-friendly treatment plan that effectively cools down your joint inflammation without upsetting your bowel health.
