About Inmecin 25 Capsule

Inmecin 25 Capsule is used to relieve symptoms caused by osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis, such as stiffness, swelling and joint pain. Inmecin 25 Capsule is also used to treat acute gouty arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, lower back pain, period pain, and pain following joint and bone surgery.

Inmecin 25 Capsule 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, fewer PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

You are advised to take Inmecin 25 Capsule 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.

Inmecin 25 Capsule can increase your risk of fatal heart attack or stroke. So, if you have had any recent heart surgery, do not use Inmecin 25 Capsule . Inmecin 25 Capsule increases the chances of stomach ulcers and bleeding. To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Inmecin 25 Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed. To avoid recurring symptoms, do not stop it midway. Do not take Inmecin 25 Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed. Inmecin 25 Capsule causes drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Inmecin 25 Capsule should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Inmecin 25 Capsule as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness; it might also increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the 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 (the 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 a hunched-forward posture and pain in the back and joints.
