Surgam SR is a medication primarily used for relieving pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other inflammatory conditions.  It contains the active ingredient tiaprofenic acid, which belongs to a class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The mechanism of action of Surgam SR involves blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals produced by the body in response to injury or certain diseases. Prostaglandins can cause swelling, pain, and inflammation. By inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, Surgam SR helps reduce these symptoms. 
Do's
  • This is the most crucial point. Take Surgam SR exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, considering dosage, frequency, and duration.
  • If you have the medication, check the packaging or any leaflet for specific instructions regarding Surgam SR.
  • Take with or without food (as directed). Follow your healthcare provider's instructions on whether to take Surgam SR with or without food.
  • Unless your healthcare provider instructs you otherwise, swallow Surgam SR tablets whole. Crushing or chewing sustained-release tablets can alter their release pattern and potentially lead to side effects.
  • Maintain consistent timing. Aim to take Surgam SR at around the same time each day. This helps maintain a steady level of medication in your body.
  • Refill prescriptions on time: Don't run out of medication. Refill your Surgam SR prescription before you finish your current supply to avoid missing doses.
Don'ts
  • Don't take more than prescribed: Taking more than the prescribed dosage of Surgam SR can be dangerous.
  • Don't stop taking abruptly: Stopping Surgam SR suddenly, especially if you've been on it for a long time, can cause withdrawal symptoms. Always consult your healthcare provider before stopping any medication.
  • Don't share medication: Surgam SR prescribed for you might not be suitable for someone else.
  • Don't skip doses: Try your best to take Surgam SR as directed by your healthcare provider. Skipping doses can disrupt the medication's effectiveness.
