Indomethacin rectal suppositories contain a potent anti-inflammatory and
pain-relieving drug. They are used for arthritis.
Take the medication precisely as prescribed by your physician. It must be
taken regularly to be fully effective. In arthritic patients, two weeks of
therapy with optimum dosages are usually required for beneficial effects to
completely develop.
Do not stop taking the medication unless instructed to do so by your
physician. If you wish to stop taking it, contact your physician or
pharmacist.
For suppositories, remove the foil wrapper, lie down and insert the tapered
end of the suppository into the rectum as far as possible.
Should you forget to take a dose and not remember for several hours after
it is due, omit it completely and take only the next dose at its regularly
scheduled time. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
In some patients, dizziness or drowsiness may occur. Avoid sedatives and
hazardous tasks requiring mental alertness, such as driving, until your
response to this drug is known.
Headaches or dizziness sometimes occur when treatment is begun. These
effects are often transient and will usually subside despite continuation
of the drug. If this persists, contact your physician.
If you have stomach upset or heartburn that persist, black tarry stools,
vomiting of brownish fluid, or any other unusual or annoying effects,
contact your physician, nurse or pharmacist.
Tell your physician, dentist and pharmacist if you have had drug allergies
or stomach ulcers, if you are pregnant, or if you take any other medication
including ASA (aspirin), drugs to lower blood pressure, and anticoagulants
(blood thinners).
Keep this medication in a labelled container, out of the reach of children.
Store suppositories away from heat, at room temperature. Do not allow
anyone else to use this medication.
