What is Indomethacin ?

Indocin (indomethacin) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to reduce inflammation, pain, and fever associated with various inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, gout, and bursitis. It works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that are involved in inflammation. Indocin is available by prescription and should be used under medical supervision due to potential side effects such as gastrointestinal issues and increased risk of cardiovascular events.
