The main effects of Indomethacin Capsules include: 1. Anti-inflammatory action: By inhibiting the synthesis of inflammatory mediators, it prevents the formation of pain nerve impulses in inflamed tissues, thereby effectively relieving the inflammatory response. 2. Antipyretic action: Acts on the body's temperature-regulating center, causing peripheral vasodilation and sweating to increase heat dissipation and reduce fever. 3. Analgesic action: Suitable for various types of pain, such as arthritis, soft tissue injuries, migraine, dysmenorrhea, postoperative pain, and pain following trauma. Indomethacin Capsules should be used according to medical instructions. Potential side effects and contraindications, such as gastrointestinal reactions and allergic reactions, should be monitored. Regular checkups are necessary to assess liver and kidney function.
