However, before using Indomethacin Sopharma, contraindications must be taken into account. The drug is not recommended if you are hypersensitive to indomethacin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or if you have rhinitis, conjunctivitis or bronchospasm caused by taking NSAIDs. Other contraindications include erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, bleeding (especially intracranial or from the gastrointestinal tract), thrombocytopenia, hypocoagulation, suspected necrotizing enterocolitis, severe renal failure, congenital heart defects (such as tetralogy of Fallot or pulmonary atresia), proctitis ( in the case of using suppositories) and pregnancy (as teratogenicity may occur).

Side effects may occur when using Indomethacin Sopharma.

It is important to pay attention to the interaction of Indomethacin Sopharma with other drugs. For example, it may reduce the diuretic effect of potassium-sparing, thiazide and loop diuretics, as well as the hypotension caused by beta-blockers. Also, Indomethacin Sopharma may increase the risk of bleeding when used simultaneously with anticoagulants such as warfarin. It may also reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive medications and cause interactions with other NSAIDs such as aspirin.
