How etodolac works
Etodolac reduces the formation of prostaglandins, chemicals involved in inflammation and pain. Laboratory studies show greater selectivity for COX-2, an enzyme linked with inflammation, than COX-1. This effect differs from other NSAIDs. Etopan XL is a prolonged-release etodolac tablet named in the supporting medicine information.
