Hello,
Indomethacin does not have any major interaction with hydrocodone and can be taken together. But Indomethacin has significant interactions with other medicines that are being taken.
1)Indomethacin and aspirin combination can increase bleeding risk
2)Indomethacin increase the effect of glipizide
3)Indomethacin can decrease the antihypertensive action of lisinopril and metoprolol
I would recommend initiating Indomethacin only under physician guidance. The use must be for very short period and with close monitoring for any side effects. Hope the above information helps you. Thank you for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day.
