Clinical Pharmacology

Metindol Retard has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects.

The mechanism of action of the drug is associated with inhibition of the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase and a decrease in the synthesis of prostaglandins, causing the appearance of pain, an increase in temperature and an increase in tissue permeability in the inflammatory focus.

In articular syndrome, Methindol retard reduces inflammation and relieves pain at rest and on movement, reduces morning stiffness and swelling of joints, and contributes to an increase in the range of motion.

Drug interactions

Increases plasma concentration of digoxin, methotrexate and lithium preparations, which can lead to increased toxicity.

Ethanol, colchicine, corticosteroids and corticotropin increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Enhances the hypoglycemic effect of insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs; increases the effects of indirect anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics (alteplazy, streptokinase and urokinase) - there is a risk of bleeding.

Reduces the effect of diuretics, with the use of potassium-sparing diuretics increases the risk of hyperkalemia; reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric and antihypertensive drugs (including beta-blockers); enhances the side effects of glucocorticosteroids, acetylsalicylic acid, estrogen, other NSAIDs.

Cyclosporine and gold preparations increase nephrotoxicity (obviously, due to the suppression of the synthesis of prostaglandins in the kidneys).

Cefamendol, cefaperazon, cefotetan, valproic acid, plicamycin increase the incidence of hypoprothrombinemia and the risk of bleeding.

Antacids and colestyramine reduce the absorption of indomethacin.

Enhances the toxicity of zidovudine (due to inhibition of metabolism); in newborns, it increases the risk of toxic effects of aminoglycosides (because it reduces renal clearance and increases blood concentration).

Simultaneous use with serotonin reuptake inhibitors increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Myelotoxic drugs increase the hematotoxicity of the drug.

Combined use with paracetamol increases the risk of nephrotoxic effects.

Pregnancy and Lactation

Contraindicated.
