Indocin

Indocin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can treat a variety of diseases that cause pain and inflammation. Indocin is one of the brand names that uses the chemical indomethacin. Indocin is used to combat ankylosing spondylitis, and arthritis-like condition that attacks the spine. The problem often begins with waxing and waning periods of back pain. Early morning stiffness is a common symptom. Over time, bony bridges form from one vertebra to the next, locking them to each other and turning the once-flexible spine into the rigid rod.

If you’ve ever seen someone with a straight back that is bent forward at the waist, you’ve witnessed the results of ankylosing spondylitis. This condition can also cause anemia, fatigue, loss of appetite, difficulty breathing, damage to the heart valves, and compressed nerves. There is no cure for this condition, but Indocin can help relieve the pain and inflammation it causes. This, in turn, makes it easier to get through your day and to do the stretching and strengthening exercises that can help maintain spine flexibility and strength.
