Description
Indocap SR capsules are used to relieve pain and inflammation associated with various conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and sports injuries. They contain indomethacin, a medication that reduces inflammation. While Indocap SR can effectively alleviate pain, swelling, and stiffness, it may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, dizziness, and drowsiness. These side effects are usually temporary. Take Indocap SR exactly as prescribed by your doctor, preferably with or after meals to minimize stomach upset.
Indocap SR is not suitable for everyone. Avoid it if you have angioneurotic edema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat), a history of stomach or intestinal ulcers/bleeding, nasal polyps causing nasal obstruction, or severe liver, kidney, or heart problems.
Before taking Indocap SR, inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions, including high blood pressure, heart failure, bleeding disorders, mental health issues, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, severe infections, fluid retention, asthma, gastrointestinal problems, lupus, diabetes, circulation problems, dehydration, or if you are scheduled for surgery.
During treatment with Indocap SR, it is important to avoid consuming alcohol. This medication is not recommended for use in pregnant women, especially during the last 3 months of pregnancy, and in breastfeeding women. It should not be used in children below 14 years of age. It should be used with caution in elderly patients.
Microcid SR 75 and Inmecin R 75 also contain indomethacin.
