Lodine XL
Generic Name: E: ETODOLAC (ee-toe-DOE-lak)
 
Common Uses of Lodine XL
This medicine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat minor aches and pains associated with the common cold, headache, muscle aches, backache, and arthritis. It may also be used to reduce fever. This medicine works by blocking the enzyme in your body that makes prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins helps to reduce pain, swelling, and fever.

Possible Lodine XL Side Effects
Side effects that may go away during treatment, include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gas, constipation, indigestion, dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, or headache. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor.

Check with your doctor as soon as possible if you experience swelling of hands or ankles, ringing in ears, rash, itching, or sudden unexplained weight gain.

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience swelling of hands, face, lips, eyes, throat, or tongue; difficulty swallowing or breathing; hoarseness, vision changes, rapid or pounding heartbeat, easy bruising or bleeding, change in amount of urine, severe headache, very stiff neck, mental/mood changes, persistent sore throat or fever, yellowing eyes and skin, dark urine, or unusual/extreme tiredness. Contact your doctor immediately and stop taking this medicine if you notice any of the following unlikely but very serious side effects: black stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

Using this medicine alone, with other medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or to perform other potentially dangerous tasks.
