For Your Context (Pharmacy Owner)

Since you (Amar) run a pharmacy (“National Medical Store”), here are some points to keep in mind:

• Ensure that the prescription is present because etoricoxib (90 mg) is prescription-only.

• Check for contraindications: e.g., customers with heart disease, stomach ulcers, kidney/liver issues — counsel accordingly or refer to physician if unclear.

• Remind customers about the risk of fluid retention and cardiovascular effects — especially older patients or those with hypertension.

• Advise customers to monitor for side-effects (e.g., stomach pain, swelling, irregular heartbeat) and to seek medical help if severe side-effects occur.

• Keep good records of expiry dates, proper storage (room temperature, away from moisture), and ensure label contains the necessary usage/precaution information.
