Indicid-75 SR (Indomethacin 75mg) - 10 Tablets
Long-Lasting Relief for Pain and Inflammation
Indicid-75 SR contains Indomethacin, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) formulated as a sustained-release tablet. This allows the medication to be released slowly into the body, providing extended relief from chronic pain and inflammation. It is commonly used in Nigeria for managing moderate to severe joint pain and swelling.
Key Uses
Indicid-75 SR is effective for:
- Arthritis Management: Relief for symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
- Acute Gout Relief: Reducing the intense pain and inflammation during a gout attack.
- Musculoskeletal Conditions: Treatment for bursitis, tendonitis, and other inflammatory disorders.
Why Sustained Release (SR)?
The "SR" formulation ensures that the active ingredient, Indomethacin, is released gradually. This provides a steady therapeutic effect throughout the day, often requiring fewer doses compared to standard capsules.
How to Use
- Dosage: Take as prescribed by your doctor.
- With Food: Always take with food or milk to minimize stomach upset.
- Swallow Whole: Do not crush or chew the tablet, as this destroys the sustained-release mechanism.
Safety & Precautions
- Prescription Only: This is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM). Consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before use.
- Side Effects: May cause stomach irritation, dizziness, or headaches.
- Pregnancy: Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
