Indicid-75 SR: Sustained Relief for Joint Pain and Inflammation
Indicid-75 SR is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing 75mg of Indomethacin in a sustained-release formulation. Manufactured by Johnlee Pharmaceuticals, it is designed to provide prolonged relief from pain, swelling, and joint stiffness.
What is Indicid-75 SR used for?
In Nigeria, Indicid-75 SR is widely prescribed for managing moderate to severe inflammatory conditions. The sustained-release (SR) formula allows for a slow and steady release of the active ingredient, making it effective for:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis: Reducing chronic joint pain and improving mobility.
- Acute Gouty Arthritis: Providing rapid and lasting relief during painful gout flares.
- Ankylosing Spondylitis: Managing stiffness in the spine.
- Musculoskeletal Disorders: Effective for bursitis, tendonitis, and severe back pain.
How it Works
The active ingredient, Indomethacin, works by blocking the production of prostaglandins—natural chemicals in the body that cause fever, pain, and inflammation. Because Indicid-75 SR is a sustained-release tablet, it maintains a consistent level of medication in your bloodstream, reducing the need for frequent dosing compared to the standard 25mg capsules.
Important Safety Information
Indicid-75 SR is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM). It should be taken with food or milk to reduce the risk of stomach upset. Patients with a history of stomach ulcers or kidney issues should consult a GoMed pharmacist before use.
