Posted on Tue, 28 Apr 2020
Question: How soon after taking Indomethacin can I begin Prednisone? I have a gout flare up and was initially tried on Indomethacin, but my doctor switched to Prednisone as the former was not working. He mentioned stopping Indomethacin before beginning Prednisone but I forgot to ask how long I needed to wait. Thank you!
