Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water.
Do not crush or chew the capsule.
You can take it alongside food, antacids or milk to reduce possible stomach discomfort.
For personalised advice on how often and when to take this medicine, consult your doctor.

Donica Capsule is taken orally.

Donica Capsule may have the following side effects:

Dyspepsia: You might experience indigestion or bloating.
Diarrhoea
Nausea
Headache
Dizziness
Rash

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Donica Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dyspepsia: If you have indigestion, try taking Donica Capsule after meals.
Diarrhoea: Consider taking this medicine with food or milk to lessen this effect.

Donica Capsule contains indomethacin (25 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

Prostaglandin Inhibition: Indomethacin works by restraining the production of prostaglandins. These are chemicals that instigate inflammation, pain and fever in the body.
Symptom Alleviation: By reducing prostaglandin levels, indomethacin effectively reduces pain and inflammation. The drug operates both peripherally at the site of tissue injury and centrally within the nervous system.

Pregnancy

Donica Capsule should be avoided in the late stages of pregnancy as it may cause complications. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.

Breastfeeding

Indomethacin is excreted in the milk of lactating mothers. It is recommended to consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are nursing.

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol while taking Donica Capsule could potentially worsen the side effects such as dizziness and nausea. It's best to limit alcohol intake when taking this medicine.

Liver

People with a history of liver disease need to take caution when using Donica Capsule, as this medication undergoes extensive metabolism in the liver. If you have any liver-related health issues, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Caution is advised with Donica Capsule if you have kidney health issues as the medicine is excreted through urine. Consult your doctor if you have a history of kidney problems.

Using Machines & Driving

Donica Capsule may cause dizziness or sleepiness which could affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Be cautious and avoid such activities if you experience these side effects.

Allergy

Avoid Donica Capsule if you are allergic to indomethacin or other NSAIDs. It's important to inform your doctor about any past allergic reactions to similar medications.

Children

Donica Capsule is not recommended for children. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Elderly patients should take Donica Capsule under medical supervision because they may be more susceptible to its side effects, including potential kidney and liver issues. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Donica Capsule interacts with the following medicines:

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Taking Donica Capsule together with aspirin and naproxen can increase the risk of stomach issues like ulcers or bleeding.
Anticoagulants: Medicines such as warfarin and heparin, when taken with Donica Capsule, might enhance their blood-thinning effect.
ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers: These medicines, including enalapril and losartan, may have their blood pressure-lowering effect reduced when taken with Donica Capsule.
Diuretics: Medications like furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide may have their water loss and blood pressure-reducing effects decreased by Donica Capsule.

Drug-Food Interactions

High-sodium foods: Consuming a diet high in sodium while on Donica Capsule might counteract the medicine's effect on fluid balance.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Donica Capsule interacts with the following diseases:

Peptic Ulcer Disease: For individuals with this condition, taking Donica Capsule might lead to a worsening of symptoms or increased risk of complications.
Heart Failure: In patients with severe heart conditions, use of Donica Capsule could likely aggravate their situation.
Renal Disease: Patients suffering from kidney diseases should exercise caution as this medication could potentially cause fluid retention and worsen kidney function.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Donica Capsule depends on your doctor's prescription. This can vary according to the severity of your condition and how well you respond to the medication. Always stick to the dosage prescribed by your doctor and avoid exceeding it without a consultation.

Over Dose

Overdosing on Donica Capsule may lead to common symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, or rash. If you suspect that you have taken too much of this medicine, it's important to contact your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose of Donica Capsule, take it as soon as you remember unless it's nearly time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your usual schedule. Never take an extra dose without consulting your doctor.

Store Donica Capsule at a cool room temperature.
Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
Ensure the bottle is tightly closed after use.
Always keep it out of reach of children.
Use the medicine before its expiry date.

If you are managing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis with Donica Capsule, consider including omega-3 rich foods like fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds in your diet. These can help in reducing inflammation.
Regular gentle exercise, such as walking or swimming, can be beneficial for conditions like ankylosing spondylitis and acute painful shoulder. However, consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
