Tivorbex
Tivorbex (generic name: indomethacin) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat mild to moderate pain associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and bursitis. It helps reduce pain and inflammation by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, substances in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Tivorbex is typically prescribed for short-term management of pain, particularly after an injury or surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for Tivorbex to start working?
Tivorbex typically begins working within 30 to 60 minutes after taking a dose, with peak effects occurring after about 1 to 2 hours.
Can Tivorbex be taken long-term?
While Tivorbex can be effective for managing pain, long-term use increases the risk of serious side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, heart attack, and kidney damage. It is generally recommended for short-term use unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Tivorbex?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Can I take Tivorbex with other pain relievers?
You should avoid taking Tivorbex with other NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, as this increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Talk to your healthcare provider before combining pain relievers.
Is Tivorbex safe to use during pregnancy?
Tivorbex is generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, as it may affect the development of the fetus. Always consult your healthcare provider before taking this medication if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
