ATC Code

M01AB01 (Indometacin)

Active Substance

Indometacin (Rec.INN registered by WHO)

Clinical-Pharmacological Group

NSAID

Pharmacotherapeutic Group

NSAID

Pharmacological Action

NSAID, a derivative of indoleacetic acid. It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects. The mechanism of action is associated with the inhibition of the COX enzyme, which leads to the suppression of prostaglandin synthesis from arachidonic acid.

It suppresses platelet aggregation.

It helps to alleviate pain, especially joint pain at rest and during movement, reduce morning stiffness and joint swelling, and increase the range of motion.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, Indometacin is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Cmax in plasma is reached within 2 hours. It is metabolized in the liver. It undergoes enterohepatic recirculation. Indometacin is detected in blood plasma as an unchanged substance and unconjugated metabolites – desmethyl, desbenzoyl, desmethyl-desbenzoyl.

T1/2 is about 4.5 hours. It is excreted in the urine – 60% as unchanged substance and metabolites, and in the feces – 33%, mainly as metabolites.

Indications

Joint syndrome (including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout), spinal pain, neuralgia, myalgia, traumatic inflammation of soft tissues and joints, rheumatism, diffuse connective tissue diseases, dysmenorrhea. As an auxiliary agent in infectious and inflammatory diseases of the ENT organs, adnexitis, prostatitis, cystitis.

It is intended for symptomatic therapy, to reduce pain and inflammation at the time of use; it does not affect the progression of the disease.

Dosage Regimen

The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen.

Tablets

The dose is set individually, taking into account the severity of the disease and the dosage form used. For adults, when taken orally, the initial dose is 25 mg 2-3 times/day. If the clinical effect is insufficient, the dose is increased to 50 mg 3 times/day. Extended-release dosage forms are used 1-2 times/day. The maximum daily dose when combining any dosage forms of indomethacin is 200 mg.

Once the effect is achieved, treatment is continued for 4 weeks at the same or a reduced dose. For long-term use, the daily dose should not exceed 75 mg.

Ointment

For external use. Apply a thin layer to the affected joints or body areas 2-4 times/day.

The duration of therapy should not exceed 7 – 10 days.

Occlusive dressings are not recommended.

Gel

The gel is rubbed in a thin layer into the skin of painful body areas: 5% – 3-4 times/day; 10% – 2-3 times/day. A single dose for adults is 4-5 cm of gel squeezed from the tube, and for children over 14 years old – 2-2.5 cm. The daily dose should not exceed 20 cm of 5% gel or 15 cm of 10% gel for adults and 10 cm of 5% gel or 7.5 cm of 10% gel for children.

In case of a history of allergic reactions to NSAIDs, use only in emergency cases.

During treatment, systematic monitoring of liver and kidney function, peripheral blood picture is necessary.

Effect on ability to drive vehicles and machinery

Drug Interactions

Concomitant use of indomethacin with other drugs from the NSAID group, acetylsalicylic acid, glucocorticosteroids, alcohol, colchicine, and corticotropin increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Indometacin reduces the effectiveness of diuretics; against the background of potassium-sparing diuretics, the risk of hyperkalemia increases; reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric and antihypertensive drugs; enhances the effect of indirect anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, thrombolytics (alteplase, streptokinase and urokinase); enhances the side effects of glucocorticosteroids, NSAIDs, estrogens, acetylsalicylic acid; enhances the hypoglycemic effect of sulfonylurea derivatives.

Concomitant use with paracetamol increases the risk of nephrotoxic effects.

Cyclosporine and gold preparations increase nephrotoxicity (apparently due to suppression of prostaglandin synthesis in the kidneys).

Increases the plasma concentration of methotrexate, which can lead to increased toxicity.

With simultaneous use of indomethacin with digoxin, an increase in the plasma concentration of digoxin and an increase in the T1/2 of digoxin are possible.

Indometacin at a dose of 50 mg 3 times/day increases the plasma concentration of lithium and reduces the clearance of lithium from the body in patients with mental illnesses. When using indomethacin concomitantly with lithium preparations, the possibility of symptoms of lithium toxicity should be considered.

Cefamandole, cefoperazone, cefotetan, valproic acid, plicamycin increase the risk of hypoprothrombinemia and the danger of bleeding.

Potentiates the toxic effect of zidovudine.

Antacids and cholestyramine reduce the absorption of indomethacin.

Myelotoxic drugs enhance the manifestation of hematotoxicity of indomethacin.

Concomitant use with quinolones may increase the threat of seizures in patients with or without a history of epilepsy or seizures.

Enhances the hypoglycemic effect of insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs.
