A member asked:
Is meloxicam or indomethacin better for inflammation?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Anti-inflammatories: In my experience, they are about equal, and it is probably patient specific. Some will do better with one medicine, while others not. Indomethacin is often used for gout. Please be careful of stomach problems and your kidney function.

Meloxicam: Safer and longer duration of action. I do no longer use indomethacin!
