Indications

Tendonil helps relieve pain and inflammation linked to musculoskeletal and joint conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and low back pain. It is also used to manage pain following surgery.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Acemetacin belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs for short. It works by blocking a substance in the body known as cyclooxygenase, or COX, which helps produce certain irritant chemicals whenever the body responds to injury or to rheumatic disease. By blocking COX in this way, Acemetacin helps ease pain and reduce inflammation.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established for this medicine. Some animal studies have shown toxic or teratogenic effects on the fetus. For this reason, it is not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: Recommended dosing starts at 120mg a day, split into smaller doses, and may be increased to 180mg a day, again in divided doses, depending on how the patient responds. Elderly patients generally don't need a dose adjustment, though NSAIDs should still be used cautiously in this group, as they can be more susceptible to side effects. To help avoid stomach upset, Acemetacin should be taken with food, milk, or an antacid.
