Indomethacin

Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to reduce inflammation and pain in conditions such as arthritis, gout, bursitis, and tendonitis. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Indomethacin is available in various forms, including capsules, suppositories, and a liquid solution. It is usually taken orally but can also be administered topically in certain cases. Like all NSAIDs, Indomethacin can have side effects such as stomach irritation, ulcers, and an increased risk of cardiovascular events, so it should be used with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
