Indocap SR 75 mg contains Indomethacin. It is a standard-release tablet that is effective in treating the following conditions:

     — Moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, including acute episodes of chronic disease

     — Moderate to severe osteoarthritis

Indomethacin treats pain, redness, swelling, and inflammation from these medical conditions.     

Before using Indomethacin capsules, your doctor will carefully consider the potential benefits and risks of Indocap standard release capsules and other treatment options. Your doctor will decide the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals. Your doctor will recommend the dose according to your condition. Follow your doctor’s advice.

If minor side effects develop as the dosage increases, your doctor may rapidly reduce the dosage to a tolerated dose and monitor your condition closely. If severe side effects occur, contact your doctor, your doctor may ask you to stop the treatment. After the disease is under control, your doctor may attempt to reduce the daily dose repeatedly until the patient receives the smallest effective dose or the drug is discontinued. Careful observation is essential to prevent serious, irreversible, and life-threatening health issues. Discontinue the drug if any side effects become severe.
