Why is Surgam prescribed?

Surgam is prescribed as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to manage pain and inflammation, particularly that associated with arthritis conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

What does it do?

Surgam works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for producing prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that trigger inflammation, pain, and swelling in the body. By blocking their production, Surgam helps reduce both pain and inflammation.

How should I take it?

Surgam is typically taken in tablet form, with a usual adult dose of around 300 mg twice daily. It should be taken with food to help minimize gastrointestinal discomfort, and alcohol should be avoided while using this medication to reduce the risk of stomach irritation.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Surgam, take it as soon as you remember. If your next scheduled dose is near, skip the missed one and stick to your regular dosing routine. Do not take extra or double doses to make up for the missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Surgam?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history. Before taking Surgam, here are several important precautions to keep in mind:

• Do not take Surgam if you have a known allergy to Tiaprofenic acid or other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
• Disclose all your current or past medical conditions to your doctor, particularly if you have gastrointestinal issues (such as ulcers or bleeding), kidney or liver impairment, asthma or certain cardiovascular conditions.
• If you have any or prone to gastrointestinal bleeding make sure to be in close medical supervision.
• If you are pregnant, considering pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits of taking this medication.
• Limit the alcohol consumption and smoking, as it can worsen stomach irritation and may increase the risk of ulcers.

Does it have any side effects?

It is important to note that all drugs have corresponding side effects and adverse reactions. Additional information may be obtained when you ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects may include:
• Indigestion
• Nausea
• Stomach pain
• Headache or dizziness
• Vomiting

Serious side effects may include:
• Difficulty breathing
• Swelling of the face, lips or throat
• Gastrointestinal bleeding
• Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice)

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Surgam (Tiaprofenic Acid) can interact with various medications, so it's important to check for potential interactions before taking it with another drug. Some interactions may increase side effects or reduce effectiveness.

Before taking Surgam, consult your doctor if you are using any of the following medications:

• Anticoagulants
• Blood thinners
• Corticosteroids
• Lithium
• Methotrexate
• Other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)

This is not a complete list of all the potential drug interactions, always consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining Surgam with other medications to ensure safety.

How should I store it?

Surgam should be stored in its original container at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Keep the medication in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure it is kept out of reach of children and pets.

What action should I take in case of overdose?

If you suspect an overdose of Surgam (Tiaprofenic Acid), it's important to act quickly and seek immediate medical attention. Contact emergency services or go to the nearest hospital. Overdose symptoms may include severe nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, difficulty breathing, or loss of consciousness.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?

NSAIDs like Surgam may pose risks to fetal development, especially in the third trimester, as they can affect the baby’s heart and kidneys. It is generally avoided during pregnancy unless necessary. For breastfeeding, Tiaprofenic acid can pass into breast milk, potentially causing adverse effects in the infant. Doctors often recommend alternative pain relief options for nursing mothers.

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider for guidance on its use to ensure safety for both you and your baby.
