If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or suspect you may be pregnant, it is important to discuss the use of indomethacin with your healthcare provider. They can evaluate the potential risks and benefits to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Indomethacin may pass into breast milk and could potentially harm a nursing infant. It is generally not recommended to use indomethacin while breastfeeding. However, if it is deemed necessary by your healthcare provider, they will monitor you and your baby closely for any potential risks. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for appropriate alternatives or considerations.

If you experience any severe or persistent adverse effects, contact your healthcare provider. Get emergency help if you have signs of a serious side effect such as an allergic reaction. Symptoms may include trouble breathing, shortness of breath, hives, blisters, skin reactions, swelling of your face, tongue or throat.

Indomethacin may interact with certain medications, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, corticosteroids (such as prednisone), blood thinners such as warfarin, water pills (diuretics such as furosemide), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), cyclosporine, lithium, and methotrexate.  It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the prescription drugs and over-the-counter supplements you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
