Indocin (Indomethacin) is used to treat one or more of the medical conditions such as treating the symptoms of certain types of arthritis, including gout; helping to relieve joint pain, swelling, stiffness and fever by reducing the production of certain substances (prostaglandins); helping to control inflammation and other body reactions. Indocin, as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), can reduce the chemicals produced by your body which cause pain and swelling. Indocin, as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), does not cure your illness or prevent it from getting worse. Indocin can only relieve pain and reduce swelling as long as you continue to take it.
