8/14/98]
Question: I need information on the drug Indocin (Indomethacin). My mother takes
it, in addition to Flexeril, and complains of dizziness, blurred vision, and paranoia.
Please discuss the cons of this medication. Also, discuss a alternatives that might have
less severe side effects.
Answer: Indomethacin is a non steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID). It decreases
both pain and inflammation. General side effects are usually GI, diarrhea, nausea, ulcers,
etc. Occasional patients have trouble breathing or a rash. Vertigo, blurred vision and
paranoia would be extremely rare with this drug.
