User Reviews for indomethacin oral

Was taking this med for swelling in my ankle after surgery...I quit taking it. Side effects were awful..headaches dizziness and really upset my stomach and diarrhea ..I quit taking them

It worked as prescribed. I was back on my feet and moving around in 2 days. I was completely pain free on the third day and back at work with no restrictions.

got rid of pain but caused irregular and rapid heart beat. Got off switched to celebrex no problems.

This medication started to ease my pain within two hours. I did experience some diareia and dizziness.

I was diagnosed with Cervical Stenosis, Fibromyalgia and Osteo-Arthritis of the Spine. I have been taking this medication as a "Break Thru" pain med for the past year and half.. and has been a LIFE SAVER for those moments where pain is elevated. and have found it reduces the pain levels significantly so I can function . It helped from the first day I took it, and has been the only Anti-inflammatory that can be taken prior to injections I get for the Cervical stenosis. Also find it has reduced pain during my menstrual cycle and for Migraines . It is the ONLY med.. that has seemed to help in the reduction of pain.. Read More Read Less

Have suffered from gout on and off for years, even though I am now taking Allopurinol to prevent attacks, which has worked well, whenever I feel a twing of gout starting usually in my feet, I start taking the indomethacin 50 and it seems to stop any attack in its tracks. I have not had any side effects, and it seems to be the one thing that works.

Pain and Swelling in my knee was the result of a gout attack. The drug did give me diarhea, but fiber pills helped to combat that. Within 48 hours, the swelling had gone down and the pain was gone. I was able to walk without crutches. I have noticed some stiffness in my right shoulder/neck area (as if from sleeping wrong), and drowsiness has been an issue. But so far, the side-effects have been worth it to releave the pain and swelling.

This medicine worked great for knocking out the pain, but it made me feel really depressed, sleepy and morbid. I noticed this last time I took it as well.

This medicine gave me diarrhea and nausea. It made me miserable.

I found indomethacin to work well initially (taking with a meal and omeprazole because it destroyed my stomach if I didn't however, after a couple of weeks my legs, hands and feet began to swell and fill with fluid.

Began to relieve gout swelling/inflammation almost instantly. Taken with food, caused no side effects.

Just started this medication. Meloxicam did not work for me. I take the Indomethacin 25 mg. T.I.D. it has helped me!

Along with age comes a variety of joint issues. Mine included swelling and bursitis in the large toe on my left foot. Add a bit of arthritis, and you have swelling, discomfort, and pain. After about week or so on a 25mg 3x a day regime, the toe swelling and irritation disappeared. It did not return until 2 years later - just now. And, of course, I am taking the 25mg 3x daily indomethacin. After one day, the discomfort and swelling is easing rapidly.

I initially started this on a as-needed basis for toe pain. It was a miracle drug for that, usually 1 or 2 doses would knock it out. Now, the gout has moved to my ankle, and has been much more difficult to treat. Sometimes the conditions last a week...hobbling around in various amounts of pain before the symptoms cease. BUT...I always drank too much beer, have had to eliminate that and get on Alopurinol as a long-term solution. I just started on it and now my conditions are worse as the crystals are broken up and floating around my joints, so I also have to take the indomethacin to control the constant pain. From what I've read here, this is common and hopefully everything will balance out...in a week or two.Read More Read Less

I have been using this medication for years. AS soon as I feel pain onset in my toe I take a 25mg pill with a meal and often that is all I have to take. Rarely do I take more than one if I catch it on time. I have had no side effects when taken with food.

This medication does take away the pain, however it comes with certain side effects that outweighed the benefits. Within 3 days of taking Indocin, I experienced numbness and tingling in my extremities and day 4 it started affecting my lips and tongue. I also experienced mental/mood changes. I an typically a very engaging and caring person, I became disconnected and apathetic. No matter the relief this medication gave me, I couldn't continue with those side effects.
