How Indocap 25 mg Works

Indomethacin is an anti-inflammatory that works by inhibiting the cyclo-oxygenase enzymes that decrease the production of prostaglandins. These naturally occurring chemicals are responsible for the pain, swelling, and fever. Decreasing prostaglandin activity helps to reduce pain and inflammation – although it does not eliminate all of the causes.

Dosage and Administration

Indocap 25 mg dosage should be taken as prescribed by your doctor and according to the instructions on the package. Dose and treatment duration depend upon the condition, age, kidney function, other medications, and response to treatment. Don’t take the medication at higher doses, more frequently, or for longer than prescribed by a healthcare provider. Medical follow-up reviews may be required as necessary.

Take the capsule with water, preferably with food, as recommended by your clinician to decrease stomach upset. Never crush or open a capsule without the advice of a pharmacist. If you forget to take a dose, read the instructions on the leaflet or talk to your pharmacist before taking it; do not take the next dose at double the usual time.
