Why is it doctors first choice of nsaid's
indomethacin? This drug takes 4 hours to
take affect, then after another 2 hours
the full affect takes place to reduce
pain.
I normally take indomethacin 75mg 2x day
for acute gout. Today, as usual pain
started during the early hours in the
morning, while still in bed, it was
unbearable, so I took nurofen plus...Wow!
The effect was immediate and guess
what...
...No dizziness, drowsiness, or
palpitation. So, I dont really understand
why doctors like to prescribe
indomethacin, its useless.

When I had gout and I first started using
indomethacin, it worked like a miracle
drug. But over time, like every other
prescription and alternative gout remedy
that I tried, it began to lose its
effectiveness.
What finally got rid of my gout
permanently and completely was getting rid
of my sleep apnea. In all likelihood, you
also have sleep apnea, particularly
because your gout attacks develop while
you are sleeping. Don't ignore getting
tested for and getting rid of sleep apnea
while seeking to find some miracle cure
for your gout. Even if you use a
medication to overcome your gout, as I
have found out, sleep apnea can really
harm you in so many ways if allowed to
continue for a long time. You can find
more information about the sleep
apnea/gout connection in my post from
march 05 on this website.

I did not get relief from indocin either.
I did get dizzy from it though.
My doctor put me on sulindac and I find
that it works like a champ. I start taking
it at the first sign of a flare, and I
find that after a couple of doses, things
are fine.
