NSAID : Indomethacin is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory medication or nsaid. It is in the same family as naproxen, motrin, and celebrex (celecoxib). This medicine is sometimes used to treat inflammatory conditions such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Indomethacin is avoided in patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, heart or renal failure.
