About sulindac

दवा का प्रकार

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)

के लिए उपयोग किया जाता है

Pain and inflammation in rheumatic disease and other muscle and joint conditions

के रूप में उपलब्ध

Tablets

Anti-inflammatory painkillers like sulindac are sometimes called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or just 'anti-inflammatories'. Sulindac eases pain and reduces inflammation in rheumatic disease and other conditions where there is pain and swelling in the muscles or joints, such as gout.

Sulindac works by blocking the effect of chemicals called cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes. These enzymes help to make other chemicals in the body, called prostaglandins. Some prostaglandins are produced at sites of injury or damage, and cause pain and inflammation. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are produced, which means pain and inflammation are eased.

Before taking sulindac

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking sulindac, it is important that your doctor or pharmacist knows:

  • If you have asthma or any other allergic disorder.

  • If you have ever had a stomach or duodenal ulcer, or if you have an inflammatory bowel disorder such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

  • If you are pregnant, trying for a baby or breastfeeding.

  • If you are under 18 or over 65 years of age.

  • If you have liver or kidney problems.

  • If you have ever had kidney stones.

  • If you have a heart condition, or a problem with your blood vessels or circulation.

  • If you have high blood pressure.

  • If you have ever had blood clotting problems.

  • If you have high blood sugar or cholesterol levels.

  • If you are a smoker

  • If you have systemic lupus erythematosus (an inflammatory condition also called lupus, or SLE).

  • If you are taking other medicines, including those available to buy without a prescription, as well as herbal and complementary medicines.

  • If you have ever had an allergic reaction to any other NSAID (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, diclofenac, and indometacin), or to any other medicine.

How to take sulindac

  • Before you start taking sulindac, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. The leaflet will give you more information about the tablets and provide a full list of side-effects which you may experience from taking them.

  • Take sulindac exactly as your doctor has told you to. The usual dose is 200 mg taken twice a day. Your dose will be on the label of the pack to remind you.

  • Swallow the tablets with a drink of water

  • Take your doses with a snack or just after eating a meal, and drink plenty of water while you are on sulindac.

  • Try to take your doses at the same times each day, as this will help you to remember to take them.

  • If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if when you remember, it is nearly time for your next dose then leave out the forgotten dose. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

अपने उपचार से अधिकतम लाभ प्राप्त करना

  • Your doctor will try to prescribe you the lowest dose for the shortest time to reduce the risk of side-effects. Your doctor may also want to prescribe another medicine along with it to protect your stomach from irritation.

  • If you are taking sulindac for gout and your symptoms have not improved within seven days, you should let your doctor know about this.

  • Try to keep your regular appointments with your doctor. This is so your doctor can check on your progress.

  • Some people taking sulindac have noticed that the colour of their urine changes slightly. If this happens to you, it is nothing you need to be concerned about.

  • If you have asthma, symptoms such as wheeze or breathlessness can be made worse by anti-inflammatories such as sulindac. If this happens to you, you should stop taking the tablets and see your doctor as soon as possible.

  • If you buy any medicines, check with a pharmacist that they are safe to take with an anti-inflammatory like sulindac.

  • यदि आप कोई ऑपरेशन या दंत चिकित्सा करवा रहे हैं, तो जो व्यक्ति उपचार कर रहा है उसे बताएं कि आप कौन सी दवाएं ले रहे हैं।.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

Can sulindac affect the results of an upcoming operation or dental treatment?

Yes, it's important to inform the healthcare professional carrying out your operation or dental treatment that you are taking sulindac. This allows them to consider your medication in relation to the procedure.

What should I do if I notice my urine changes colour while taking sulindac?

Some people have observed a slight change in the colour of their urine when taking sulindac. The article states that this is nothing to be concerned about.

If I am taking sulindac for gout, when should I contact my doctor?

If you are taking sulindac to treat gout and your symptoms have not shown improvement within seven days, you should inform your doctor.

Can sulindac be safely taken with other medicines bought without a prescription, or herbal remedies?

If you purchase any other medicines, including those available without a prescription, or if you use herbal and complementary medicines, you should check with a pharmacist to ensure they are safe to take alongside an anti-inflammatory like sulindac.

What is the role of COX enzymes and prostaglandins in pain caused by injury?

COX (cyclo-oxygenase) enzymes help produce chemicals called prostaglandins. When there is an injury, some prostaglandins are produced at that site, which then cause pain and inflammation. Sulindac works by blocking these COX enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins and therefore eases pain and inflammation.
