What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Indocin Overview
Indomethacin is used to relieve pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, gout, bursitis, and tendonitis. It is also used to relieve pain from various other conditions. Indocin is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling and pain. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain.
Indocin Warnings
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (including indomethacin) may rarely increase the risk for a heart attack or stroke. This effect can happen at any time while taking Indocin but is more likely if you take it for a long time. The risk may be greater in older adults or if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes). Do not take Indocin right before or after heart bypass surgery (CABG). Also, Indocin may rarely cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Indocin. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.)stomach/abdominal pain that doesn't go away, bloody or black/tarry stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, trouble speaking.

How to Use Indocin
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using indomethacin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Take Indocin by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually 2 to 3 times a day with a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters). Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking Indocin. If stomach upset occurs while taking Indocin, take it with food, milk, or an antacid. The Dosage of Indocin is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. In children, the Dosage of Indocin is also based on weight. To reduce your risk of stomach bleeding and other side effects, take Indocin at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Do not increase your dose or use Indocin more often or for longer than prescribed. For ongoing conditions such as arthritis, continue taking Indocin as directed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor or pharmacist. In certain conditions (such as arthritis), it may take up to 4 weeks when Indocin is taken regularly before you notice the full benefits. If you are taking Indocin on an "as needed" basis (not on a regular schedule), remember that pain medications work best if they are used as the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well. Tell your doctor if your condition worsens.
