A member asked:
How long does it take for indocin to work for pain, also is 25 or 50 mg appropriate dosage for moderate oa and herniated disc and annular tear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly quickly: Indocin is an older antiinflammatory as isn't used very often for OA for more than a short course of treatment. Usually 50mg of the standard(not extended release) is used. must be followed carefully
