Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using other medicines for pain, fever, swelling, or cold/flu symptoms. They may contain ingredients similar to etodolac (such as ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen).
Avoid taking aspirin unless your doctor tells you to.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
Ask your doctor before using an antacid, and use only the type your doctor recommends. Some antacids can make it harder for your body to absorb etodolac.
