Osteoarthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, Rheumatoid arthritis

Medicinal Benefits:

Indocap SR Capsule belongs to the group of pain killers known as NSAID's (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Indocap SR Capsule is used to relieve symptoms caused by osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis such as stiffness, swelling and joint pain. Indocap SR Capsule is also used to treat acute gouty arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, lower back pain, period pain, pain following joint and bone surgery. Indocap SR 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, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
