Description
Overview of the medicine
Inco-SR 15 mg tablet is a sustained-release formulation designed to provide a continuous and consistent release of its active ingredient over an extended period. This helps maintain stable drug levels in the body, potentially reducing dosing frequency and minimizing fluctuations in therapeutic effect.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Typically one tablet once or twice daily, or as directed by a physician. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Elderly
No specific dose adjustment may be necessary for elderly patients, but caution is advised, and dosage should be individualized.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution in patients with renal impairment; dose adjustment may be necessary based on severity and physician's advice.
How to Take
Take the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this may disrupt the sustained-release mechanism and lead to rapid release of the active ingredient.
Mechanism of Action
The active ingredient in Inco-SR 15 mg is formulated into a sustained-release matrix, which allows for a gradual and prolonged dissolution of the drug. This controlled release mechanism ensures that the medication is absorbed slowly over many hours, providing a steady therapeutic effect.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Delayed onset of action compared to immediate-release formulations, but sustained effect.
Excretion
Primarily excreted via the kidneys (urine) with some biliary excretion.
Half life
Effective half-life is extended due to the sustained release properties, allowing for less frequent dosing.
Absorption
Slow and prolonged absorption from the gastrointestinal tract over several hours.
Metabolism
Metabolized in the liver (specific pathways depend on the active ingredient, generally common metabolic routes).
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or any component of the formulation.
- •Severe hepatic or renal impairment (consult physician).
Drug Interactions
Other CNS depressants
May enhance sedative effects if the active ingredient has CNS depressant properties. Caution advised.
CYP450 inhibitors/inducers
May alter metabolism of the active ingredient, requiring dose adjustments.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
In case of an overdose, seek immediate medical attention. Management should be symptomatic and supportive, including monitoring of vital signs and gastrointestinal decontamination if appropriate.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using Inco-SR 15 mg tablet. The benefits and risks should be carefully weighed.
