About Indolous 75 Capsule ER

Indolous 75 Capsule ER belongs to the group of pain killers known as NSAID's (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) used to relieve symptoms caused by osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis such as stiffness, swelling and joint pain. Indolous 75 Capsule ER is also used to treat acute gouty arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, lower back pain, period pain, pain following joint and bone surgery.

Indolous 75 Capsule ER works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical 'prostaglandins' (PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

You are advised to take Indolous 75 Capsule ER for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, dizziness, diarrhoea, vomiting, and constipation. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Indolous 75 Capsule ER can increase your risk of fatal heart attack or stroke. So, if you have had any recent heart surgery, do not use Indolous 75 Capsule ER. Indolous 75 Capsule ER increases the chances of stomach ulcers and bleeding. To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Indolous 75 Capsule ER for as long as your doctor has prescribed. To avoid recurring symptoms, do not stop it midway. Do not take Indolous 75 Capsule ER if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed. Indolous 75 Capsule ER causes drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Indolous 75 Capsule ER should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Indolous 75 Capsule ER as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness; it might also increase the risk of stomach bleeding.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, inflammation, stiffness, and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age, the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear-out as a person ages. Other reasons include a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries.

Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an auto-immune disease (body's immune system attacks its tissue) which leads to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include stiffness, pain, swelling, deformities and loss of joint function.

Ankylosing spondylitis: It causes pain and stiffness in the spine, which starts in the lower back and can spread to the neck, damaged joints or other parts of the body. Symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis include decreased flexibility which usually leads to hunched-forward posture, pain and back and joints.
