Joint Pain, Arthritis. Taking Etova-p 400, Swelling Around Face. Safe To Continue Medication?
I am a joint pain and severe arthiritis patient and my physician has prescribed Etova -P 400. This has to be taken twice a day. But after taken, I have developed some swelling problem around my face. Can this medicine cause any side affect like this. Will it be advisable to continue this medicine.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain killer you are taking can lead to swelling of the face due to its effect on the renal function. You can stop the medicine for now and consult your orthopedician for a better alternative.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
