How does Indomethacin Work?
Indomethacin belongs to the group of medicines known as NSAID. It blocks the action of enzyme known as Cyclo-oxygenase, which is responsible for the production of compounds known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced in response to certain injuries or diseases. The body experiences pain, swelling and inflammation due to the production of prostaglandins in body. By blocking cyclo-oxygenase, Indomethacin stops the production of prostaglandins and hence relieves the pain and inflammation associated with it.
