Indomethacin is used to relieve pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, gout, bursitis, and tendonitis. Reducing these symptoms helps you do more of your normal daily activities. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Background: Indomethacin is frequently used as a tocolytic, however there is currently only scant evidence to support its efficacy. Goals: To delay preterm delivery by 48 hours and to examine longer latency periods and maternal and neonatal outcomes Methods: Randomized placebo-controlled trial of indomethacin for tocolysis. Women with a singleton pregnancy between 23w0d and 31w6d in preterm labor randomly assigned to 50mg indomethacin by mouth followed by 25mg by mouth every 6hour for 48 hours or placebo. Patients receive betamethasone for fetal lung maturity, if not previously administered, and magnesium sulfate for neuroprotection.
