Indamet-G Capsule

Quick info

Indamet-G Capsule is a combination of three medicines that relieves the symptoms of uncontrolled asthma in adult patients, inflammation, and relaxes muscles in the airways, making breathing easier. Your doctor will tell you how often you need to use this medicine. The effect of this medicine may be noticeable after a few days but will only reach its maximum after a few weeks. This medicine must be used regularly to be effective so keep taking it even if you don't have any symptoms; that means it's working. If you stop taking it your symptoms may get worse. This medicine should not be used to relieve sudden shortness of breath. If sudden shortness of breath occurs use your rescue inhaler. To get the benefit from this medicine make sure you get your inhaler technique right otherwise it won't work. The most common side effects include exacerbation of asthma, nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, and headache. You can prevent some of these side effects by rinsing your mouth and throat with water or brushing your teeth after using your inhaler. Before taking Indamet-G Capsule tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver diseases so that they can prescribe a suitable dose for you. Also tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

How it works

Indamet-G Capsule is a combination of glycopyrronium, indacaterol, and mometasone. Glycopyrronium belongs to a class of medications called anticholinergics. It works by decreasing the secretions in the airways. Indacaterol works by relaxing and opening air passages in the lungs. Mometasone works by calming down the immune system. This in turn decreases the swelling in respiratory passages and lungs enabling easier breathing. It also stops symptoms such as wheezing and coughing.

Direction of use

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Indamet-G Capsule may be taken with or without food but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
