You need a PDR, dude.

That's a Physicians Desk Reference, btw. It's got all the drugs in it up to the time it's published.

Have never taken it- why do you ask?

it stops swelling and pain... that's all I know.

Took it for my knee a while back, oh... and it can make your tummy hurt.

Has a calming affect.

Prevents swelling (ironically, Pinapple prevents swelling better).

Also can cuase cramping, gas, and diareah.

Eating pinapples? Really?

Cool!

i've taken it. i think. maybe i took indomyacin? now i can't remember.

if you're worried about it i would check it out at www.rxlist.com

you can type in a drug, even if you don't know exactly how it's spelled and it will come up with a list of drugs that sound like it, then you can see their side effects, etc.

Keep your hippy-lovin' holistic bullshit off this thread!!

I hope your mom is okay Jersey...

I know what Indocin is, it's used to treat inflamation and pain.It's an NSAID similar to Motrin and Naproxin.It's been around for a long time.
The major side effects are gastro-intestinal problems so she should eat when she takes the drug. Not just a couple bites of something, but a small meal.
It can raise blood pressure too.

I'm sorry to hear she has Eagle's Syndrome, that's a very painful problem to have to deal with.Anti- inflamatories are the first line of treatment, if Indocin doesn't do the trick, then there are other NSAIDs that may help. If they don't work then there is a surgical treatment for the problem.

Wait, your mom is taking it not you? I thought maybe you had it for your knee.

Sorry about your mom hon.
