INDOCAP CAP 10

About

INDOCAP CAP 10 contains Indomethacin, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the acetic acid derivative class. It exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, thereby reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are key mediators of inflammation, pain, and fever. Indomethacin is particularly effective in managing moderate to severe pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions.

Its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties make it a valuable option for conditions where significant inflammatory response is present. Due to its potency and potential for side effects, it is typically prescribed for short-term use or when other NSAIDs are less effective, and its use requires careful monitoring, especially in patients with pre-existing gastrointestinal or cardiovascular risks.
