Our today's topic is arthritis and NSAIDs. Human joints have to do a lot of work every day, gradually getting worn out. Heredity comes into play, too, as gout, etc may be inherited through generations in the family. People really suffer from different forms of arthritis that include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis (found in the spine). The pain caused by stiffness and inflammation sometimes may become unbearable. What can help? Among other ways of treatment, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-infammatory drugs) can be administered.
Mylan Pharmaceuticals manufactures a range of NSAIDs. One of these drugs is Sulindac (generic version of the well-known brand Clinoril). The medication is used to relieve the inflammation, swelling, and joint pain caused by different form of arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, and other types of pain. It is available as 150mg and 200mg round yellow-colored pills indexed with 'MYLAN' letters and the numbers 427 and 531 respectively. Sulindac pill dosages are aptly determined for different cases of treatment. E.g., rheumatoid arthritis is normally treated with 150mg doses taken two times a day while acute painful shoulder (subacromial bursitis / supraspinatus tendinitis) usualyy requires higher Sulindac dosages of 200mg taken twice daily.
