What Should Be The Duration Of Time Between Methylprednisolone And Indocin?

Indocin and methylprednisolone
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are currently taking Indocin for what I guess is pain possible Gout flair and you are transitioning to methylprednisolone. You can stop the indocin today and start the methylprednisilone the following day. We do not recommend drinking alcohol until 1 week after taking indocin as the indocin can affect platelets and increase risk of bleeding. The alcohol may cause some GI bleeding and may also affect bleeding.
In summary
1. Start methylprednisolone the day after stopping indocin
2. Hold alcohol for at least 1 week aftr stopping indocin
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions.


Yes
Detailed Answer:
Yes I would still wait one week as the effects on the platelets last 1 full week even from 1 pill. You could drink but you do run the risk for more GI upset with the alcohol.
