You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have a known hypersensitivity to etodolac, have experienced asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type

Effects of other drugs, drug classes and over-the-counter products on LODINE
The following medications may interact with LODINE:

- Aspirin: The use of LODINE in conjunction with aspirin or other salicylates is not recommended
- Beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents: Blunting of the antihypertensive effect of beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents by non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs including LODINE has been reported
- Cyclosporine: Administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs concomitantly with cyclosporine has been associated with an increase in cyclosporine-induced toxicity
- Digoxin: LODINE given concomitantly with digoxin has been reported to increase the serum concentration and prolong the half-life of digoxin
- Probenecid: When LODINE is given to patients receiving probenecid, the plasma levels of indomethacin are likely to be increased.
