As a general rule, it is best not to take medication before taking blood for the test, unless it endangers your health or life.

In your case, Roticox, which contains the active ingredient Etoricoxib, belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. NSAIDs can affect liver parameters and uric acid levels.

Given that the blood test is done on an empty stomach, I would advise you to take the pill after the test and eat breakfast and skip the last dose of the medication the day before the test.

Any doubts can be dispelled by the doctor who guides and monitors the course of the disease, as well as prescribes medications.
