Up to 1 in 4 users experience this. Taking with food and starting at 25&nbsp;mg BID can reduce the effect; if persistent, switching to a different NSAID is reasonable.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is Inmecin different from Inmecin-R?<\/h3>\n<p>Both contain indomethacin. Inmecin is an immediate-release 25 or 50&nbsp;mg capsule given three times daily. Inmecin-R is a 75&nbsp;mg sustained-release capsule dosed once or twice daily &mdash; more convenient for chronic conditions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Inmecin good for gout?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes &mdash; indomethacin is a gold-standard oral NSAID for an acute gout flare. Typical regimen: 50&nbsp;mg three times daily for 2 days, then 25&nbsp;mg TID for 2&ndash;3 more days, then stop. Combine with colchicine in severe flares if there are no contraindications.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take Inmecin long-term?<\/h3>\n<p>Long-term use is possible in inflammatory arthritis but is not usually the preferred NSAID for prolonged therapy because of its CNS and GI burden. If needed, combine with a proton pump inhibitor for GI protection and review at least every 3 months.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drink alcohol with Inmecin?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid alcohol &mdash; it increases GI bleed risk and adds to drowsiness and dizziness. Social light drinking is best avoided while on treatment.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Inmecin safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>No &mdash; particularly in the third trimester (risk of premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus). Indomethacin is sometimes used under specialist supervision in tocolysis (to stop preterm labour) for short periods, but this is a hospital decision.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drive while taking Inmecin?<\/h3>\n<p>Because dizziness and drowsiness are common, assess your own response first. Do not drive on your first day of therapy and avoid driving if you feel any CNS symptoms.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Inmecin interact with other medications?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes &mdash; particularly lithium (raises lithium levels), methotrexate (raises methotrexate toxicity), ACE inhibitors\/ARBs plus diuretics (&ldquo;triple whammy&rdquo; renal injury), anticoagulants (bleed risk), and SSRIs (bleed risk). Always share your full medication list with your doctor.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I miss a dose of Inmecin?<\/h3>\n<p>Take it when you remember, unless the next dose is due within 2 hours. Never double up.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Inmecin stronger than ibuprofen?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Milligram-for-milligram indomethacin is one of the most potent NSAIDs. It is also more prone to CNS and GI side effects, which is why it is usually reserved for conditions where its extra strength is needed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- medsbase-related-alts-v1 --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relaterte alternativer<\/h3>\n<p>Andre produkter innen <strong>Kroniske tilstander<\/strong> som kunder ogs\u00e5 ser p\u00e5:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/voveran-sr\/\">Voveran SR<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/p-nolol-sr\/\">P-Nolol SR<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/etova\/\">Etova<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/atenheal\/\">Atenheal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/tiova-rotacaps\/\">Tiova Rotacaps<\/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 contains Indomethacin.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":57619,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[3141,3223,3555],"product_tag":[4335,4337],"class_list":{"0":"post-57618","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-pain-relief-medication","9":"product_tag-indomethacin","10":"product_tag-inmecin","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-variable","17":"has-default-attributes"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/57618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57618"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=57618"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=57618"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=57618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
