Indicid-75 SR: Long-Lasting Relief for Severe Pain and Inflammation
Indicid-75 SR is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing 75mg of Indomethacin. It is formulated as a sustained-release (SR) medication, meaning it provides a steady level of pain relief over a longer period, typically allowing for once-daily dosing.
What is Indicid-75 SR Used For?
In Nigeria, Indicid-75 SR is commonly prescribed by doctors for the management of moderate to severe inflammatory conditions. It is particularly effective for:
- Gout flares: Providing rapid relief from the intense pain and swelling of acute gouty arthritis.
- Arthritis: Managing chronic pain and joint stiffness associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis.
- Back Pain & Spondylitis: Relieving severe backaches and stiffness in conditions like Ankylosing Spondylitis.
- Tendonitis & Bursitis: Reducing inflammation in the tendons and joints.
How Indicid-75 SR Works
The active ingredient, Indomethacin, works by blocking enzymes that produce prostaglandins—the chemicals in your body responsible for signaling pain and causing inflammation. The "Sustained Release" (SR) technology ensures the medicine is released slowly into your system, providing consistent relief throughout the day or night.
How to Use Indicid-75 SR
- Dosage: This is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM). Always follow the specific dosage instructions provided by your doctor or GoMed pharmacist.
- Administration: To minimize stomach upset, it is recommended to take Indicid-75 SR with food or a glass of milk.
- Safety Tip: Do not crush or chew the tablets, as this destroys the sustained-release mechanism. Swallow them whole.
