What is Inmecin (Indomethacin) used for?

Inmecin (Indomethacin) is an oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) prescribed to treat a wide variety of conditions causing pain or inflammation. The medication prevents the release of hormones that cause these symptoms in response to injury. This makes it useful for treating conditions such as arthritis, acute gout, back pain, dysmenorrhea, or pain and inflammation caused by injuries. Your physician may also prescribe it to treat other unlisted conditions.

Do not crush, split, or chew the tablets to avoid destroying or changing the effects of their contents.
