Hello
Perhaps you are having rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis of some joint pain disease.
Your doctor prescribed a right medicine .
As you got relief , this indicate that you are a patient of arthritis .
Microcid is "INDOMETHACIN" and a most potent drug for joint pain disease .
It is an inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase pathways of prostaglandin synthesis , that's why help in joint pain.
My aim was to explain you in better way.
Now this drug having few side effects like nausea, vomiting , dizziness, abdominal pain, indigestion rash , wheezing but patient adjust this medicine in its body within a short period .
Benefits are more so you can tolerate these side effects .
You can use this drug even for years without any major side effects .
Special precautions should be taken by the patients who are having liver ,cardiac , kidneys diseases.
Hope this will help you.
