A member asked:
Is it safe to take indomethacin at 28 weeks for fibroids? if safe for the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Indomethacin is a category D medication in the final trimester. That means there is known damage to the fetus if used. It can close a natural heart bypass that allows the fetus to concentrate blood flow on their body rather than send it through the lungs. Use would likely lead to babies heart failure among other issues.
