Information About Indomethacin

Indomethacin is a potent non-selective NSAID used to treat acute gout, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and pericarditis in Singapore. Available as a 25mg–50mg oral capsule taken two to three times daily with food, or as a suppository, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Its potent COX inhibition makes it highly effective for acute gout flares, but its strong gastric and renal toxicity profile limits its use to short courses — it is reserved for conditions unresponsive to better-tolerated NSAIDs. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Indomethacin online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
