Sulindac

Drug Details

Sulindac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to alleviate pain, swelling, and stiffness associated with various forms of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gouty arthritis. It is also effective in treating shoulder conditions such as acute subacromial bursitis and supraspinatus tendinitis. Sulindac works by inhibiting the body's production of certain natural chemicals responsible for inflammation, thereby reducing pain and swelling. It is recommended to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration to minimize the risk of serious side effects, including stroke, heart attack, and stomach bleeding. Always consult with your healthcare provider for advice tailored to your specific health needs and before starting any new treatment.
