A: Indomethacin (Indocin) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), used to treat inflammation from gout, and other conditions, such as arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, tendonitis, or bursitis. Indomethacin does not lower uric acid levels in the body.
Doctors may also use indomethacin to treat bursitis (shoulder joint inflammation), gout, or gouty arthritis, (a form of arthritis caused by crystals of uric acid building up inside joints), and inflammation of tendons (tissue that attaches muscles to bones).ndomethacin belongs to a class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs treat swelling, pain, and fever by blocking the production of substances in the body called prostaglandins, which regulate inflammation and other bodily processes.
