Etodolac brand names?

What brand names is etodolac sold under?

Etodolac is a prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It has been marketed under multiple brand names, depending on the country and the specific product formulation (for example, immediate-release vs extended-release).

Common U.S. brand names that have been used for etodolac include:
- Lodine (etodolac)
- Lodine XL (extended-release etodolac)

Are there generic versions of etodolac, and how do they relate to the brands?

Yes. Etodolac is available as a generic medication, and it may be dispensed instead of a brand depending on prescribing, insurance, and pharmacy stock. Even when the active ingredient is the same, the formulation matters (immediate-release vs extended-release), which can affect dosing schedules.

How can I check the exact brand name on my prescription or bottle?

To identify the exact brand, check:
- The label’s “brand” or “trade name” (if present)
- The strength and whether it says “extended-release” (often corresponding to XL-type products)
- The generic name: “etodolac” (the generic name will be listed even on brand products)

If you share the exact wording from your bottle (including strength and “ER/XL” if shown), I can help confirm which etodolac product it matches.
