Indomethacin ER Capsules
Indomethacin extended-release (ER) capsules are a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness caused by conditions like arthritis, gout, and certain joint disorders. They work by reducing substances in the body that cause inflammation and pain. The extended-release form provides longer-lasting relief, so fewer doses are needed throughout the day.
- Indomethacin belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class
- Works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin production
- Extended-release capsules provide sustained pain relief requiring less frequent dosing
- Should be taken with food or milk to minimize stomach irritation
- Alcohol should be avoided because it can increase the risk of stomach bleeding

Indomethacin ER Capsules Medication Description
Indomethacin ER capsules is a prescription NSAID designed to provide long-lasting relief from pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and joint conditions. By blocking COX enzymes, indomethacin reduces the production of prostaglandins—chemical messengers that trigger pain, swelling, and fever. This mechanism makes it effective for chronic conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The extended-release formulation allows for sustained drug levels in the body, reducing the need for frequent dosing and improving convenience for patients who require ongoing symptom control. While indomethacin can significantly improve quality of life by reducing pain and improving mobility, it does not reverse the underlying disease process. Because NSAIDs carry risks such as gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney impairment, and cardiovascular complications, healthcare providers carefully weigh benefits and risks before prescribing indomethacin. Patients are advised to follow dosing instructions closely and report any unusual symptoms promptly. -
Indomethacin ER Capsules Side Effects
Indomethacin ER capsules can cause mild side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, heartburn, headache, and dizziness. More serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, kidney problems, and increased blood pressure. Rare but severe complications include heart attack, stroke, and allergic reactions. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience chest pain, shortness of breath, black or bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, or swelling of the face or throat. Taking the medication with food and avoiding alcohol can help reduce stomach-related side effects. -
