New Uses of Indomethacin 2001.3.15

This drug is a nonsteroidal analgesic. Recent reports indicate it can treat dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, oligospermia, neurogenic frequency urination, ureteral colic, night sweats, pruritus, orthostatic hypotension, chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and many other conditions. However, some argue that because this medication can cause gastrointestinal reactions, it should not be used. Therefore, for patients with chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, menorrhagia, or oligospermia, it is advisable to choose medications with better gastrointestinal tolerability before prescribing indomethacin.
