Inmecin-R

Product Overview

Inmecin-R is a medication containing the active ingredient Indomethacin. It belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Inmecin-R is formulated as a sustained-release capsule, designed to gradually release the medication into the body over an extended period. This allows for once-daily dosing, providing effective relief from pain, inflammation, and fever associated with various conditions such as arthritis, gout, and certain types of headaches. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever.

Uses

Inmecin-R is primarily used for the management of pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout. It is also indicated for the treatment of acute shoulder pain caused by conditions such as bursitis and tendinitis, as well as certain types of headaches including tension headaches and migraines. In addition, Inmecin-R may be used to reduce fever in patients with feverish conditions.

How to Use

Inmecin-R capsules should be taken orally with a full glass of water, preferably with food or milk to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal irritation. Swallow the capsules whole without chewing or crushing them. The dosage and duration of treatment with it will depend on the specific condition being treated and your individual response to the medication. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and not exceed the recommended dose.

How it Works

Indomethacin, the active ingredient in Inmecin-R, works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are lipid compounds that play a key role in the inflammatory process by promoting vasodilation, increasing vascular permeability, and sensitizing pain receptors. By inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, it reduces inflammation, alleviates pain, and lowers fever, providing relief from symptoms associated with various inflammatory conditions.

Dosage and Administration

The usual dosage of Inmecin-R for the treatment of arthritis and other inflammatory conditions is one capsule (75 mg) taken once daily with food or milk. Your healthcare provider may adjust the dose based on your response to the medication and the severity of your condition. It is important not to exceed the maximum recommended dose of 200 mg per day. Elderly patients and those with impaired renal function may require lower doses of it to reduce the risk of adverse effects.
