Has generic indomethacin ER 75MG been discontinued by Eon labs? Is there another generic manufacturer that makes this drug? ## The database that I use does not list the manufacturer, because it says there are several who make it as a generic, but it does list the 75mg ER as being still available. ## I just picked some up for my wife at Kroger pharmacy. ER 75 mg, mfg: EON LABS. ## Yes, as I said, it is definitely still available. The one by Eon may have been discontinued, but most generics are made by many different manufacturers, so just because one company stops production, that doesn't necessarily mean it isn't available at all anymore.

hurts to swallow not a sore throat but pain after i swallow ## Are you saying it hurts, after you swallow this medication? If so, then are you making sure that you take it with lots of water? Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and it may irritate the lining of the esophagus, if it comes into contact with it, because it isn't completely washed down. Alternatively, they can also increase your production of stomach acid, which can rebound into the esophagus and cause this type of irritation. Have you consulted your doctor? You may need to stop using this or you may need a medication to help reduce your stomach acid production.

can these 2 medicans be taken togeather safely/with out problems... if taken off them will it cause side effects?? please answer ASAP.. my husband is in prison and they have took him off his medications...HELP..SINCERLY MAGGIE ## Maggie, Both the medicines Indomethacin and Piroxicam are used to reduce pain caused by arthritis or other similar conditions. They are considered 'anti-inflammatory' medicinces. I know that there can definitely be some nasty side effects if someone is taken off Indomethacin abruptly - the body basically becomes dependent on it once somebody is on a regular regimen of it. I would definitely have a pharmacist verify this since it could possibly be considered abuse if they took away his meds. He could be dizzy, drowsy, and who knows what else. This doesn&...

inflamation in my foot, no pain gout suspected, taking 50 mg indomethacin, makes me sleepy, how long should i ake this med ## Hi bobbi, I haven't found any specific details mentioning exactly how long one should be on this medication, but I did locate a rather broad statement quoted below, that may be of help: "Suggested Dosage: Indomethacin capsules 25 mg b.i.d. or t.i.d. If this is well tolerated, increase the daily dosage by 25 mg or by 50 mg, if required by continuing symptoms, at weekly intervals until a satisfactory response is obtained or until a total daily dose of 150 mg to 200 mg is reached. DOSES ABOVE THIS AMOUNT GENERALLY DO NOT INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE DRUG." If dosing instructions are noting "weekly intervals" I can say that it's probably ...

Can Indomethacin and Wellburtin taken together cause a reaction? Lightheadness, dizzy, confusion, slurred speech, blood pressure was high. I ended up in the emergency room. Poison control said it was these medications that caused this. ## They aren't actually interactions, but they can be side effects of these medications, which could be worsened by combining them. For example, both Indomethacin, and Wellbutrin may cause dizziness, drowsiness, sedation and somnolence as side effects, according to FDA reports, so taking them both could make those symptoms more severe, and that could lead to the slurring of speech that you experienced. The high blood pressure is also something that can be a side effect of both of these medications, so it could be worsened by combining them. Ref: Medli...

My brother is taking Norco after a knee replacement, but a few days ago he came up with another problem. Having had gout before, he started getting redness and some swelling under the other foot. Can he take the green pill, Indomethacin while taking the Norco? ## Hello, Panda! How is your brother doing? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check to be sure. So, there shouldn't be any problem, as long as his doctor approves. Norco is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Side effects...
