I am a diabetic patient and take Lantus insulin once daily. I am overweight at 110 kg and have back and joint pain, along with occasional nerve-like pain in my toes. Can I safely take Nucoxia 90 Tablet (Etoricoxib), and what would be the appropriate dose, frequency, and duration in my case?
While Nucoxia 90 Tablet (Etoricoxib) can help with joint pain, it must be used with caution in diabetic patients as it may occasionally affect blood pressure and kidney function. You should take only one tablet daily for a short period at the lowest effective dose, or as advised by your doctor, and monitor your blood sugar levels closely during this time. Given your weight and nerve pain in your toes, it is important to consult your doctor to ensure this medicine is safe for you and to discuss a long-term plan for weight and nerve management.
