The SR formulation spreads the release of the 75&nbsp;mg dose over 8&ndash;12 hours, giving steadier blood levels and simpler once- or twice-daily dosing than the immediate-release 25\/50&nbsp;mg capsule (Inmecin), which must be taken three times a day.<\/p>\n<p>Inmecin-R is typically chosen when a patient needs chronic indomethacin therapy for an inflammatory spondyloarthropathy, chronic gout, or persistent inflammatory arthritis, and adherence to TDS dosing is difficult. The total daily dose of 75&ndash;150&nbsp;mg is similar to that used with immediate-release indomethacin.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Inmecin-R Used For?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong> &mdash; symptom control in ongoing inflammatory flares<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ankylosing spondylitis<\/strong> &mdash; preferred first-line NSAID in many guidelines; can reduce radiographic progression when used regularly<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chronickou dnu<\/strong> &mdash; inter-crisis management<\/li>\n<li><strong>Osteoarthritis<\/strong> with marked inflammatory component<\/li>\n<li><strong>Psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Pericarditis<\/strong> &mdash; maintenance phase alongside colchicine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Indomethacin Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Indomethacin is a <strong>non-selective NSAID<\/strong> &mdash; it blocks both <strong>COX-1<\/strong> (which maintains stomach lining, platelet function, and kidney perfusion) and <strong>COX-2<\/strong> (which is upregulated at sites of inflammation). This broad action explains both its strong anti-inflammatory effect and its well-known gastrointestinal and renal side-effect profile.<\/p>\n<p>The therapeutic chain of events is the same for every NSAID:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Tissue injury or inflammation releases phospholipids from cell membranes<\/li>\n<li>Phospholipase A&#8322; converts them to arachidonic acid<\/li>\n<li>Cyclooxygenase (COX-1\/COX-2) converts arachidonic acid to <strong>prostaglandins<\/strong> &mdash; the molecules responsible for pain, swelling, and fever<\/li>\n<li>Indomethacin blocks the COX enzymes, so less prostaglandin is produced, so there is less pain and inflammation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Because prostaglandins also protect the stomach lining, regulate kidney blood flow, and influence platelet function, the same mechanism that relieves pain is also responsible for the main NSAID side effects: stomach irritation, fluid retention, high blood pressure, and (in some individuals) kidney stress.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inmecin-R Dosing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis:<\/strong> 75&nbsp;mg SR once daily to start; may increase to 75&nbsp;mg twice daily (total 150&nbsp;mg) if needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Osteoarthritis, chronic gout maintenance:<\/strong> 75&nbsp;mg SR once daily.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Elderly patients:<\/strong> start at 75&nbsp;mg SR once daily and titrate slowly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Swallow the SR capsule whole with water, with or after food. <strong>Do not open, crush, or chew<\/strong> &mdash; this destroys the sustained-release action and converts a 12-hour dose into an immediate burst, raising both GI and CNS risk.<\/p>\n<p>Once-daily dosing is usually taken in the morning with breakfast. Twice-daily dosing should be spaced about 12 hours apart (e.g. 8&nbsp;a.m. and 8&nbsp;p.m., both with food).<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:14px 18px;margin:16px 0;border-radius:4px;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>GI safety &mdash; read this before the first dose.<\/strong> Every NSAID, including Inmecin-R, carries a real risk of gastritis, peptic ulcer, and upper-GI bleeding. The risk is highest in patients over 65, in those with prior ulcer disease, and in anyone also taking low-dose aspirin, corticosteroids, SSRIs, or anticoagulants. Take Inmecin-R <em>s j\u00eddlem<\/em>, use the <em>lowest effective dose for the shortest reasonable time<\/em>, and ask your doctor about co-prescribing a proton pump inhibitor (omeprazole, pantoprazole) if you need it for more than 2&ndash;4 weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Should Not Take Inmecin-R?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Known hypersensitivity to Indomethacin or any NSAID<\/li>\n<li>Active or recurrent peptic ulcer, GI bleed, or GI perforation<\/li>\n<li>Asthma, urticaria, or rhinitis precipitated by aspirin or another NSAID (&ldquo;aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease&rdquo;)<\/li>\n<li>Severe heart failure (NYHA class IV)<\/li>\n<li>Severe hepatic impairment (Child&ndash;Pugh C)<\/li>\n<li>Severe renal impairment (CrCl &lt; 30&nbsp;mL\/min)<\/li>\n<li>Third trimester of pregnancy (risk of premature ductus arteriosus closure and oligohydramnios)<\/li>\n<li>Recent coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) &mdash; absolute contraindication for all NSAIDs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Indomethacin-specific cautions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>History of seizures or epilepsy<\/li>\n<li>Depression, psychosis, or history of hallucinations<\/li>\n<li>Parkinsonov\u011b chorob\u011b<\/li>\n<li>Elderly &mdash; higher rate of CNS side effects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kardiovaskul\u00e1rn\u00ed riziko<\/h3>\n<p>All NSAIDs (except low-dose aspirin) carry some increase in the risk of heart attack and stroke, and can worsen heart failure. The risk is dose- and duration-dependent and is generally highest with COX-2 selective agents and with diclofenac. Patients with established ischaemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, or uncontrolled hypertension should use non-selective NSAIDs (ibuprofen or naproxen) at the lowest effective dose, or use paracetamol instead where possible.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Renal (kidney) safety<\/h3>\n<p>NSAIDs reduce renal prostaglandin production, which can cause salt and water retention, raise blood pressure, and &mdash; in vulnerable patients &mdash; cause acute kidney injury. High-risk groups are the elderly, patients on ACE inhibitors\/ARBs plus diuretics (the &ldquo;triple whammy&rdquo;), anyone dehydrated (vomiting, diarrhoea, heat, heavy exercise), and those with pre-existing CKD.

Inmecin-R 75&nbsp;mg is sustained release, dosed once or twice daily. Inmecin 25\/50&nbsp;mg is immediate release, dosed three times a day. SR is more convenient for chronic therapy.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Inmecin-R good for acute gout flares?<\/h3>\n<p>Indomethacin is first-line for acute gout, but the <em>immediate-release<\/em> form (Inmecin 50&nbsp;mg TDS) is usually preferred for rapid symptom control in the first 48&ndash;72 hours. Inmecin-R is more appropriate for chronic gout maintenance or when a patient is already on SR therapy.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I open the Inmecin-R capsule?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The sustained-release pellets inside the capsule rely on an intact coating to release gradually. Opening, crushing, or chewing causes an immediate-release dump of 75&nbsp;mg, which greatly increases side-effect risk.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does Inmecin-R take to work?<\/h3>\n<p>Pain relief typically starts within 1&ndash;2 hours of the first dose; maximum anti-inflammatory benefit builds over 1&ndash;2 weeks of regular dosing.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take Inmecin-R with food?<\/h3>\n<p>Always take it with food or milk. Never on an empty stomach &mdash; gastric irritation is the most common reason patients drop out.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Inmecin-R safe long-term?<\/h3>\n<p>In ankylosing spondylitis, regular NSAID therapy (including indomethacin SR) may slow radiographic progression. Long-term use should be paired with a proton pump inhibitor for GI protection and regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and liver enzymes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drink alcohol on Inmecin-R?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid alcohol or limit to occasional light use. Alcohol increases GI bleed risk with any NSAID and can worsen dizziness and drowsiness.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Inmecin-R safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>No &mdash; contraindicated in the third trimester (risk of premature ductus arteriosus closure). Avoid in early pregnancy unless specifically supervised.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What drug interactions should I know about?<\/h3>\n<p>Lithium (levels rise), methotrexate (toxicity), ACE inhibitors + diuretics (kidney injury), anticoagulants and SSRIs (bleed risk), antihypertensives (blood-pressure effects blunted). Share your full medication list with your prescriber.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drive on Inmecin-R?<\/h3>\n<p>Test your own response first. Dizziness or drowsiness are common in the first few days; do not drive until you know how it affects you.<\/p>\n<p><!-- medsbase-related-alts-v1 --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Souvisej\u00edc\u00ed alternativy<\/h3>\n<p>Dal\u0161\u00ed produkty v <strong>Chronick\u00e1 onemocn\u011bn\u00ed<\/strong> kter\u00e9 z\u00e1kazn\u00edci tak\u00e9 prohl\u00ed\u017eej\u00ed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/rosuline\/\">Rosuline<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/folitrax\/\">Folitrax<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/imat\/\">Imat<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/cozartan\/\">Cozartan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/crestor\/\">Crestor<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2705 Relieves Inflammation<br \/>\n\u2705 Eases Pain<br \/>\n\u2705 Reduces Swelling<br \/>\n\u2705 Treats Arthritis<br \/>\n\u2705 Manages Gout<\/p>\n<p>Inmecin-R contains Indomethacin.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":57613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[3141,3223,3920,3555],"product_tag":[4335,4336],"class_list":{"0":"post-57612","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-category-overview","7":"product_cat-chronic-conditions","8":"product_cat-gout-treatment","9":"product_cat-pain-relief-medication","10":"product_tag-indomethacin","11":"product_tag-inmecin-r","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-variable","18":"has-default-attributes"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/57612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57612"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=57612"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=57612"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/cs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=57612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
