User Comments about Indometacin
04 Jul 2010 This drug relieved my tooth pain, but this was just a symptomatic treatment, and I had to take many capsules regularly before meeting the dentist. In addition, its generic form is affordable and available.

12 Oct 2009 Indocin has been a miracle drug for me. It was first prescribed during a severe episode of bursitis over 20 years ago after numerous other prescriptions had failed. For years I took it on an "as needed" basis. I requested a prescription about 3 years ago so that I could take it on a daily basis as aspirin was no longer effective for the rheumatoid arthritis that I have had in my hands for years. The doctor reluctantly prescribed it, telling me that there are better drugs on the market. I have heard this repeatedly over the years and even tried some of these "better drugs" with severe side effects. Currently a new doctor is insisting that Indocin has caused a recent bout of heartburn. I know better. I love it.
