Pharmacological action of
Indomethacin has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects, as well as some antiaggregant action. Suppresses the activity of anti-inflammatory factors, reduces platelet aggregation. Inhibiting cyclooxygenase 1 and 2, disrupts the metabolism of arachidonic acid, reduces the amount of prostaglandins (Pg) both in the focus of inflammation and in healthy tissues, and suppresses the exudative and proliferative phases of inflammation.
When applied externally, it causes a weakening or disappearance of a pain syndrome of a rheumatic and non-rheumatic nature (including pain in the joints at rest and during movement, reduces morning stiffness and swelling of the joints, helps increase the range of motion in inflammatory processes that occur after operations and injuries , quickly relieves both spontaneous pain and pain during movement, reduces inflammatory edema at the wound site).
Indications
Joint syndrome (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout), pain in the spine, neuralgia, myalgia, traumatic inflammation of the soft tissues and joints, rheumatism, diffuse connective tissue diseases, dysmenorrhea. As an adjunct in infectious and inflammatory diseases of the ENT organs, adnexitis, prostatitis, cystitis.

During the treatment period, systematic monitoring of liver and kidney function and the picture of peripheral blood is necessary.
Concomitant use with acetylsalicylic acid and other NSAIDs is not recommended.
Indomethacin should not be used concurrently with diflunisal.
With the simultaneous use of indomethacin with lithium preparations, the possibility of symptoms of the toxic effects of lithium should be borne in mind.
Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and control mechanisms
During treatment, one should refrain from potentially dangerous activities related to the need for concentration and increased speed of psychomotor reactions.
Tablets, enteric coated with a white or almost white color, round, biconvex at the fracture of the tablet, two layers are visible - nucleus white or white with a yellowish tint and film membrane.

From the side of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system: dizziness, headache, depression, rarely feeling tired - anxiety, fainting, drowsiness, cramps, peripheral neuropathy, muscle weakness, involuntary muscle movements, sleep disorders, mental disorders (depersonalization, psychotic episodes), paresthesia, dysarthria, parkinsonism.
From the cardiovascular system: edema, increased blood pressure, tachycardia, chest pain, arrhythmia, palpitation, arterial hypotension, congestive heart failure, hematuria.
Allergic reactions: rarely - itching, urticaria, angiitis, erythema nodosum, skin rash, exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, erythema multiforme, toxic epidermal necrolysis, hair loss, acute respiratory distress, a sharp drop in blood pressure, anaphylactic, anaphylactic reactions, anaphylactic, dyspnea, bronchial asthma, pulmonary edema.
From the hemopoietic system: rarely - leukopenia, petechiae or ecchymosis, purpura, aplastic and hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, DIC.
On the part of the sensory organs: rarely - violation of the clarity of visual perception, diplopia, orbital and periorbital pain, tinnitus, hearing impairment, deafness.
From the urinary system: rarely - proteinuria, nephrotic syndrome, interstitial nephritis, impaired renal function, renal failure.
From the side of metabolism: rarely - hyperglycemia, glucosuria, hyperkalemia.
Other: rarely - vaginal bleeding, hot flashes, increased sweating, nosebleeds, enlargement and tension of the mammary glands, gynecomastia.

With simultaneous use with probenecid, an increase in the plasma concentration of indomethacin is possible.
Indomethacin may decrease tubular secretion of methotrexate, resulting in increased toxicity.
When used concomitantly with NSAIDs, the toxicity of cyclosporine increases.
Indomethacin at a dose of 50 mg 3 times / day increases the concentration of lithium in the blood plasma and reduces the clearance of lithium from the body in patients with mental illness.
With the simultaneous use of indomethacin with digoxin, an increase in the concentration of digoxin in the blood plasma and an increase in T1 / 2 of digoxin are possible.
Overdose
Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, severe headache, dizziness, impaired memory, disorientation. In severe cases of paresthesia, numbness of the limbs, convulsions.
