Effectiveness
How Tivorbex Affects PatientsIndometacin is a painkiller and fever reducer that works by reducing the amount of factors that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. When taken for rheumatoid arthritis, it can reduce joint swelling, the number of joints affected, and morning stiffness. It can also reduce the pain, fever, swelling, tenderness, and redness of acute gouty arthritis. Taking indometacin comes with the risk of cardiovascular issues or gastrointestinal effects like bleeding and ulcers. In studies of healthy individuals, taking indometacin decreased their cerebral blood flow for a short period of time, although the significance of this is
How Tivorbex works in the bodyIndometacin is a drug that reduces inflammation, pain, and fever. It works by blocking an enzyme called cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which is involved in the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are molecules responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever. Indometacin also blocks the release of arachidonic acid from phospholipids, which further reduces prostaglandin production. Additionally, indometacin can cause vasodilation and increased peripheral blood flow, which helps reduce fever. Indometacin is also used to close a patent ductus arteriosus
