Composition

Indomethacin (25 Mg)

Indocap Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs). It relieves moderate to severe pain, tenderness, swelling, and stiffness due to rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, myalgia, patent ductus arteriosus, and acute shoulder pain.

It only provides symptomatic relief for the disease. It does not cause any change in the actual underlying disease. It is also found to be effective in relieving pain and reducing fever, swelling, and tenderness of acute gouty arthritis.

Some side effects may be noted with this capsule, which should be informed to a doctor promptly. Any allergy to this capsule, existing diseases, and other ongoing medications should also be brought to your doctor's notice before this capsule is prescribed to you.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most of the side effects due to this capsule are usually mild and often do not require urgent medical attention. They improve with continued usage of the medicine. To combat gastrointestinal side effects, take this capsule with food. However, if the side effects persist or worsen or something other than that listed above occurs, inform your doctor immediately.

Indocap Capsule contains the following component:

Indomethacin (25 mg): It is a reversible and non-specific inhibitor of cycloxygenase enzyme. The cyclooxygenase enzyme is found in places like the central nervous system, kidney, uterus, and other organs and is responsible for prostaglandin synthesis. The prostaglandin is responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever.

Pregnancy

Indocap capsule may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus in the fetus. Indomethacin should be completely avoided in the third trimester. Be cautious about the use and consult your doctor for advice.

Breastfeeding

Indocap Capsule and breastfeeding should not be done together as the medicine may pass into the breast milk. Consult your doctor for advice before use.

Alcohol

It is not recommended to consume alcohol while taking Indocap Capsule as there is a risk of getting an ulcer or increased bleeding when Indocap Capsule is taken along with the alcohol.

Liver

Be cautious about the use of Indocap Capsule in liver diseases. Do not take it without the doctor’s consultation.

Kidney

Be cautious about the use of Indocap Capsule in kidney diseases. Do not take it without the doctor’s consultation.

Using Machines & Driving

If you are allergic to Indocap Capsule constituents or indomethacin do not take it. Ask your doctor for advice. Read the label carefully before taking this medication.

Allergy

Drowsiness may occur upon taking Indocap Capsule. Do not indulge in driving or operating heavy machinery. Consult your doctor about this in case of any questions.

Children

This capsule is not recommended in children under 14 years of age as the safety and efficacy of Indocap Capsule have not been established.

Older Patients

Older patients with heart disease, kidney dysfunction, and liver impairments should cautiously take this capsule. They may also take other medications that can interact with Indocap Capsule. Consult your doctor and discuss your prescription medications before taking this medicine.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Indocap Capsule can interact with medications, including:

ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors) such as captopril and losartan: Concurrent use with indomethacin may diminish the antihypertensive effects and increase the risk of kidney problems.
Beta-adrenoreceptor blocking agents such as metoprolol: Combined use with indomethacin may reduce the antihypertensive effects of beta-blockers.
Other NSAIDs such as aspirin and diflunisal: Co-administration with indomethacin may heighten the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulceration. Concurrent use of diflunisal with indomethacin may increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, such as bleeding and ulceration.
Imunosuppresants such as cyclosporine: Indomethacin may elevate cyclosporine levels in the blood, potentially leading to toxicity.
Antiarrhythmics such as digoxin: Indomethacin may increase digoxin levels in the blood, potentially leading to digoxin toxicity.
Antigout medication such as Probenecid: Probenecid may delay the excretion of indomethacin, potentially increasing the risk of side effects.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Indocap Capsule can interact with diseases, including:

Risk of bleeding, ulceration, and bleeding disorders: Indomethacin can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulceration, particularly in individuals with a history of these conditions or bleeding disorders.
Advanced renal disease: Indomethacin may further impair kidney function, particularly in individuals with advanced renal disease, leading to worsening renal function or kidney failure.
Angina and other cardiovascular events: Indomethacin may increase the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke, particularly in individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular disease or risk factors for these conditions.
Pre-existing asthma: Indomethacin may exacerbate asthma symptoms or precipitate asthma attacks, particularly in individuals with pre-existing asthma or other respiratory conditions.
Anaemia: Indomethacin can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, which may exacerbate anaemia or lead to further blood loss in individuals with pre-existing anaemia.

Daily Dose

Take the recommended dose of Indocap Capsule as directed by the doctor. The dosage may change based on individual factors such as the severity of the condition and response to the treatment. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage direction and consult the doctor before exceeding it.

Over Dose

If you take an excessive dosage of Indocap Capsule by accident, it is essential to get immediate medical attention from your doctor or nearby hospital in case you experience any severe side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take an Indocap Capsule, take it as soon as possible. If the time for the next dosage is close, skipping the missed one is recommended and resume your regular dosage routine. Never increase the dosage without the doctor’s knowledge.
