Indocin Side Effects
Stomach upset is the most common side effect. If this persists or becomes severe, notify your doctor. Headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, lightheadedness, dizziness, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nervousness, or drowsiness may occur as your body adjusts to the medication. Notify your doctor if you develop any of these serious effects while taking INDOCIN: persistent stomach pain, presence of black or bloody stools, skin rash, itching, vision changes, swelling of the hands or feet (edema). May rarely cause ringing in ears and/or loss of hearing. Infrequently, INDOCIN may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. If this happens to you, avoid prolonged sun exposure, wear protective clothing and use a sunscreen. Avoid sunlamps. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
How To Use Indocin
INDOCIN: Take with food or immediately after meals to prevent stomach upset. Take INDOCIN with 6 to 8 ounces (180-240ml) of water. Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking INDOCIN. Sustained release or long acting preparations must be swallowed whole. Do not crush or chew them or the sustained activity may be destroyed and side effects increased.
Indocin Uses
