Indocin SR question? (indomethacin)?!
Question:
Indocin SR question? (indomethacin)?
I have brusitus in the shoulder and the doc has given me this. They pharmicisit has said that it can make me very very sleepy. I'm worried about taking now because I have 2 girl scout troops and 3 kids to worry about :)
Has anyone taken this stuff and did it make you sleepy? it's 2x 75mg once a day
Answers:
just because indomethacin is a NSAID doesn't mean it is exactly the the same as all others drugs in this class - silly assumption.
the pharmacist is right... it CAN cause this, but it only did so in 1% of the trial group as referred to in MIMS 2004 - (Australian drug guide - heaps of info - exactly what your doctor was looking at when he prescribed it - or international equivelent)
thats a normal dose and so side effects are unlikely -but if they do occur chat with your doctor and get something different because not all NSAIDs are the same!
