description Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease, the first line of treatment for which are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In terms of sufficient duration for pain relief and minimization of the risk of adverse events (AE), it seems relevant to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a short course of OA therapy with the drug etoricoxib (Dolocox®).The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy (effect on the activity of the inflammatory process, intensity of pain) and safety of etoricoxib (Dolocox®) in a short course of therapy (at least 10 days) in the treatment of osteoarthritis.Material and methods. 60 patients were included, of which 55% (33) had comorbidities. Pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), symptoms of knee OA – using the WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster University) scale, and patient satisfaction with their condition – using the PASS (Patient Acceptable Symptom State) index. The dynamics of symptoms, adverse events, and tolerability were recorded daily. Etoricoxib (Dolocox®) was prescribed to patients by the physician at a dose of 60 mg once daily in the morning for 10 days. Differences were statistically significant at p<0.05.Results. With etoricoxib (Dolocox®) on day 10 pain decreased at movement from 55,3 to 19,4 (p<0.05), at rest – from 50,3 to 18,5 (p<0.05), at night – from 46,6 to 17,6 (p<0.05). Reduce of pain of 40% and more was observed during movement in 92%, at rest – in 87%, at night – in 90% of patients on day 10. According to the WOMAC, on day 10, a decrease of more than 40% of all subscales was noted (“Pain” – 45%, “Stiffness” – 53%, “Function” – 45% of patients); positive PASS was recorded in 97% of patients. 75% of participants rated tolerability as excellent, 23% – as good. Physicians noted excellent tolerability in 70% (42) cases, good – in 28% (17). AEs were reported in 7% of patients, all of them are mild.Conclusions. Etoricoxib (Dolocox®) is highly effective in the treatment of knee and hip OA in a short course of therapy, which allows its use in real clinical practice.
