Modni Capsule SR

Introduction

Modni SR is a prescription medication that contains Indomethacin as its active ingredient. Indomethacin belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is available in capsule form and is commonly prescribed under the brand name Modni SR.

Uses

Modni SR is primarily used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in various conditions, including:

• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Gouty arthritis
• Acute shoulder pain (bursitis and/or tendinitis)

Your healthcare provider may prescribe Modni SR to help manage these conditions and alleviate associated symptoms.

Dosage and Administration

follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dosage and administration of Modni SR. The recommended dosage may vary depending on your specific condition, age, and other factors.

Generally, the usual starting dose for adults is 25 mg taken two to three times daily. Your doctor may adjust the dosage based on your response to the medication. Modni SR should be taken with food or after meals to help reduce the risk of stomach upset.

Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule, as it is designed to release the medication slowly over time.

Mechanism of Action

Indomethacin, the active ingredient in Modni SR, works by reducing the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes, which are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins. By blocking the production of these prostaglandins, indomethacin helps to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve joint mobility.
