indomethacin
Gout attack treatment
Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain, swelling, and fever.
It's prescribed for conditions like arthritis, gout, and bursitis, and in newborns to close a heart defect called patent ductus arteriosus.
Like other NSAIDs, it works by blocking prostaglandins but carries risks of stomach bleeding and kidney problems.
