Uses of Katadol Capsule
Pain relief
Benefits of Katadol Capsule
- In Pain
- Katadol blocks the chemicals that cause pain at the site of an injury or inflammation, giving relief that is often stronger than paracetamol for pain with swelling.
- In Inflammation
- Katadol reduces the swelling, redness, heat and stiffness of an inflamed joint or injured tissue, so movement is easier.
- In Arthritis
- Katadol eases the pain and morning stiffness of arthritis, so joints move more freely and daily tasks become easier.
- In Fever
- Katadol lowers a raised temperature and relieves the aching that goes with it.
- In Period pain
- Katadol reduces the chemicals that make the womb cramp during a period, which is why it works well for period pain when taken as the pain begins.
How Katadol Capsule works
Katadol Capsule decreases pain perception by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain. It works by affecting specific nerve pathways that process pain, helping to reduce discomfort. With this action, it manages various types of pain, including muscle- and nerve-related pain.
How to take Katadol Capsule
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Katadol Capsule may be taken with or without food.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Katadol Capsule, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause stomach bleeding, kidney failure, drowsiness and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Katadol Capsule
Most side effects of Katadol are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Indigestion
- Stomach pain
- Nausea
- Heartburn

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions
Take it with or just after food, and for the shortest time that works. Stop and seek urgent care for black or tarry stools, vomiting blood, or severe stomach pain — this group can cause bleeding from the stomach. Long or high-dose use raises the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney injury, particularly in older people and those already at risk. Avoid if you are dehydrated or have an illness with vomiting or loose motions — the kidneys are vulnerable then. Must be avoided in the last three months of pregnancy.
Do not take Katadol if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for people with an active stomach ulcer, severe kidney or heart failure, or asthma triggered by aspirin or anti-inflammatory painkillers. Not in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Interactions with other medicines
Combining with a blood thinner or aspirin sharply raises the bleeding risk. Reduces the effect of blood pressure medicines and water tablets, and together with them can harm the kidneys. Never take two anti-inflammatory painkillers at the same time.
How to store Katadol Capsule
Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.

- Katadol Capsule is generally given when painkillers (NSAIDs) cannot be given due to gastric damage caused by them.
- Get your liver function tests done before starting Katadol Capsule and follow-up tests every week while you are taking the medicine.
- Stop taking Katadol Capsule and immediately inform your doctor if you get any symptoms of liver disease like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or yellow-colored urine.
