Hi bobbi,

I haven't found any specific details mentioning exactly how long one should be on this medication, but I did locate a rather broad statement quoted below, that may be of help:

"Suggested Dosage: Indomethacin capsules 25 mg b.i.d. or t.i.d. If this is well tolerated, increase the daily dosage by 25 mg or by 50 mg, if required by continuing symptoms, at weekly intervals until a satisfactory response is obtained or until a total daily dose of 150 mg to 200 mg is reached. DOSES ABOVE THIS AMOUNT GENERALLY DO NOT INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE DRUG."

If dosing instructions are noting "weekly intervals" I can say that it's probably safe to assume that one might be on this medication for months at a time.

I find it odd that your doctor or pharmacist didn't offer any sort of guidelines when they handed you the prescription?
