About Igusign Tablet 10's

Igusign Tablet 10's is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) which leads to joint pain and damage. Rheumatoid arthritis is characterised by loss of joint function, progressive bone destruction, and joint synovitis (inflammation of the joints).
 
Igusign Tablet 10's contains 'Iguratimod', which inhibits the production of immunoglobulins and inflammatory cytokines. It inhibits osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption, thereby stimulates bone metabolism. Igusign Tablet 10's provides relief from pain and inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2, an enzyme that is responsible for pain and inflammation. 
 
You are advised to take Igusign Tablet 10's 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 stomach pain, dizziness, headache, itchiness, nausea, and vomiting. 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.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Igusign Tablet 10's may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Limited information is available regarding the usage of Igusign Tablet 10's in children, so please consult a doctor if you have any concerns.
