About Microcid Capsule

Microcid Capsule 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. Microcid Capsule is also used to treat acute gouty arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, lower back pain, period pain, pain following joint and bone surgery.

Microcid 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.

You are advised to take Microcid Capsule 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.

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