Preferred Label : Indomethacin Sodium;
NCIt definition : The sodium salt of indomethacin, a methylated indole derivative with anti-inflammatory,
analgesic-antipyretic and tocolytic effects. Indomethacin is a non-selective, reversible,
and competitive inhibitor of cyclooxygenases 1 and 2, thereby blocking the conversion
of arachidonic acid into prostaglandin precursors. Consequently, prostaglandin synthesis
is decreased, and prostaglandin-mediated activities are prevented, including pain,
inflammation, fever and uterine contraction.;
