Is Indomethacin Safe To Be Taken For Knee Inflammation?

I have been prescribed Indomethacin 50MG Caps for occasional ankle inflammation. Usually a 2-3 day program resolves the issue. It was suggested that I keep it around the house for the 3-4 times a year I need it. Can I use it for knee inflammation also?

Hello,

My answer is yes, you can use Indomethacin for both ankle and knee inflammation and any kind of joint inflammation as the effect of the drug is systemic, which means in all the body.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
