Pharmacology

Acemetacin, the active ingredient in Tendonil, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by blocking cyclooxygenase (COX), which is involved in producing irritant chemicals in response to injury or rheumatic disease. By blocking COX, acemetacin reduces pain and inflammation symptoms.

Dosage & Administration:

• Recommended starting dose: 120mg/day in divided doses, increasing to 180mg/day in divided doses based on patient response.
• Adjustment of dosage is generally not required for elderly patients, but NSAIDs should be used with caution due to the increased risk of adverse reactions.
• Acemetacin should be taken with food, milk, or an antacid to reduce the possibility of gastrointestinal disturbance.

Interaction

• Reduces the antihypertensive effect of beta-blockers.
