Pharmacology
Indomethacin is an NSAID with pain-relieving and fever-reducing effects. Clinical and pharmacological studies have confirmed that it has strong anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic action. Unlike corticosteroids, its effect does not depend on the pituitary gland or the adrenal glands. Taken by mouth, it is absorbed quickly, with peak blood levels reached within about 2 hours. Roughly two-thirds of the drug is passed out in the urine and the rest in the stool, with about 90% of a single dose cleared from the body within 24 to 48 hours. In controlled clinical trials, Indomethacin has shown real benefit in treating rheumatic conditions, easing pain, reducing joint swelling, and improving joint movement.
