Serious side effects, though rare, can include heart-related issues and stomach ulcers. It is important to consult a healthcare provider if any severe side effects occur.

Etoricoxib should be used with caution in individuals with a history of stomach ulcers, heart disease, or high blood pressure. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy unless specifically advised by a healthcare provider. Always follow the prescribed dosage and avoid prolonged use without medical supervision.
