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.

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...

I have taken Indomethacine for chronic inflammation (possible spondylitis) for 3 weeks and it seemed to make the pain worse than while taking Advil. I switched to Meloxicam and have been taking it for a week. Again, no relief and perhaps it's even worse! Is it possible for these drugs to worsen the pain? How long does it generally take to get relief while taking these meds? ## Unfortunately, some people do experience the opposite of the intended effects from any given medication. It could be that you may need to explore other treatment options. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, headache, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding. Have you only tried NSAIDs, so far?
