What Is Indocin?
Indocin (indomethacin) is a prescription medication used to manage acute gout attacks, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It works by blocking cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, reducing the production of prostaglandins that drive pain and inflammation. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients experience significant relief from joint pain and swelling.

Is Online Indocin Treatment Right for You?
Indocin may be appropriate for adults experiencing acute gout flares, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis who need fast-acting anti-inflammatory relief. It is a prescription NSAID and requires a physician evaluation to confirm it is safe for your health profile.
Because indomethacin can affect the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and cardiovascular system, your physician will review your history of GI conditions, kidney function, heart disease, and any other medications you take before prescribing.

Frequently asked questions
Indocin (indomethacin) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) prescribed primarily for acute gout attacks, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It relieves pain, stiffness, and swelling by blocking prostaglandin production.
Many patients begin to notice pain relief within a few hours of the first dose. Significant improvement in swelling and tenderness during an acute gout flare is typically seen within 24 to 48 hours of starting treatment.
For acute gout, physicians commonly prescribe 50 mg three times daily until pain is adequately controlled, then the dose is tapered. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and duration based on your individual response and tolerance.
The most frequently reported side effects include stomach upset, nausea, heartburn, headache, and dizziness. Taking Indocin with food or milk can help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Serious side effects such as GI bleeding, kidney changes, and cardiovascular events are possible, particularly with long-term use.
Indocin is not recommended for people with a history of peptic ulcer disease, severe kidney or liver impairment, certain heart conditions, or known allergy to NSAIDs or aspirin. It should not be used in the third trimester of pregnancy. Your physician will review your full medical history before prescribing.
Indocin is sometimes used alongside urate-lowering therapies such as allopurinol or febuxostat to manage both the acute flare and long-term uric acid levels. Your doctor will coordinate your full treatment plan and check for interactions with any other medications you are taking.
Yes. Indocin can interact with blood thinners (such as warfarin), other NSAIDs, certain blood pressure medications (including ACE inhibitors and diuretics), lithium, and methotrexate, among others. Always provide your physician with a complete list of your current medications and supplements.
