Indocap 25 mg

Indocap capsules help to relieve moderate pain and fever.

The medicine alleviates pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout. It contains the active ingredient Indomethacin, which belongs to the group of medicines known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is effective in treating conditions that affect joints and muscles. It acts by blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain that inform us we have pain. 

Take Indocap as it is prescribed to get the most benefit. Do not take it longer than recommended, as that can be dangerous. Usually, the capsules must be taken with or immediately after meals. It can also be taken with milk or antacids to avoid stomach issues such as indigestion. Swallow the capsule with a glass full of water. Do not break or crush the medicine. Your doctor will decide the correct dose for you, depending on your condition. Continue to take this medicine for as long as your doctor advises you to obtain the best results.

Generally, your doctor may recommend the lowest effective dose, and that too for the shortest period. This will help you perform daily activities more easily and have a better, more active quality of life.       

Do not take Indocap 25 mg if you have had hives, asthma attacks, or allergic reactions to aspirin or other NSAIDs. Also, avoid taking it right before or after heart bypass surgery. Before taking Indomethacin, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you have asthma, liver problems, kidney disease, are pregnant, or breastfeeding. Avoid consumption of alcohol during the treatment. Do not drive or operate machines because Indomethacin may cause dizziness, drowsiness, or vision problems.
