Indometacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or gout. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.
The medication is administered orally, rectally, or topically, as directed by a doctor.
Side effects may include nausea, heartburn, dizziness, or gastrointestinal irritation. In rare cases, severe adverse effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding or kidney dysfunction may occur.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications they are taking and avoid long-term use without medical supervision. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a specialist before use.
