Pregnancy Category

Name : C

Description

Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks

Mode of Action

Indometacin, an indole acetic acid derivative has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic actions. It reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and -2) enzymes, thus resulting in reduced synthesis of prostaglandin precursors.

Interaction

May increase plasma levels of methotrexate. Increased risk of GI bleeding w/ warfarin. May reduce hypotensive effects of hydralazine, furosemide, ?-blockers (e.g. atenolol, propranolol, oxprenolol), or thiazide diuretics. Increased risk of hyperkalaemia w/ K-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, K supplements. May increase nephrotoxic effects of ciclosporin or triamterene. Increase plasma concentration w/ probenecid. May increase plasma levels of aminoglycoside (e.g. amikacin, gentamicin) in premature neonates. May enhance antipsychotic effect (e.g. severe drowsiness and confusion) of haloperidol. Al- or Mg-containing antacids may reduce GI disorders of indometacin. Potentially Fatal: Diflunisal decreases renal clearance and increases plasma concentrations of indometacin which leads to fatal GI haemorrhage.
