Contraindication
Indomethacin is contraindicated in patients with ulcer, gastritis, active ulcerative colitis, and should be used with caution in patients with a history of these disorders. It is also contraindicated in previously hypersensitive patient.
Mode of Action
Indometacin, an indole acetic acid derivative has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic actions. It reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and -2) enzymes, thus resulting in reduced synthesis of prostaglandin precursors.
Precaution
Patient w/ known CV disease or risk factors for CV disease, fluid retention, history of GI disease (e.g. bleeding or ulcers), history of mental depression or other psychiatric disorder, epilepsy, or parkinsonian syndrome; existing infection that is adequately controlled. May mask signs and symptoms of infection. Hepatic and renal impairment. Elderly, childn. Pregnancy and lactation.
Lactation: Drug enters breast milk; use not recommended (American Academy of Pediatrics committee states that drug is compatible with nursing)

Interaction

Al- or Mg-containing antacids may reduce GI disorders of indometacin. Potentially Fatal: Diflunisal decreases renal clearance and increases plasma concentrations of indometacin which leads to...
