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

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)
