I've been taking Etodolac 200mg for my osteoarthritis, and the pain relief has been great. However, I've had some side effects that are pretty concerning.

Additionally, I've seen some comments about rashes and I want to know if anyone has had this. I don't want to stop taking the medicine, but these side effects are worrying me. Has anyone experienced anything similar, or have any advice for managing these issues?

The product warns about serious side effects like allergic reactions, which is a bit concerning, but I haven't experienced anything like that yet. Just wondering what others think about this product and if it's worth sticking with.
