What Experts Say

Indomethacin is a nonselective COX inhibitor, blocking both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes that produce prostaglandins responsible for pain, fever and inflammation. This broad blockade makes it one of the more potent anti-inflammatory NSAIDs available, but it also explains why side effects tend to be more noticeable than with milder options like ibuprofen.

Because of its stronger central nervous system effects, including headache, dizziness and occasional confusion, it is often used for short defined courses rather than continuous daily therapy. Acute gout attacks and short flares of arthritis are common uses where its strength gives faster relief than gentler NSAIDs, without the same length of exposure that raises cumulative risk.

Gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney strain are the two risks doctors watch most closely, particularly in older adults or anyone already taking blood thinners or diuretics. Pairing it with a stomach-protecting medicine is common when a longer course is unavoidable. Kidney function and blood pressure are usually checked periodically during extended use.

Risks and warnings

• Stomach Bleeding Risk: A higher risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding exists compared with many other NSAIDs.
• Cardiovascular Risk: Long-term use can raise the risk of heart attack or stroke, especially at higher doses.
• Kidney Impairment: Kidney function can be reduced, particularly in people who are dehydrated or on diuretics.
• Central Nervous System Effects: Headache, dizziness and confusion are more common with this NSAID than with many others.
