Acute Gout: You should be taking 50mg Indocin 3 times daily. Give it another day and if no improvement you see a doctor for different treatment.

Acute gout: Indomethacin in the proper dose usually is quite effective for treatment of an acute gout attack. When it's not I've prescribed colchicine or corticosteroids orally. Discuss this with your physician.
