Indomethacin other names?

What are the other names (generic and brand) for indomethacin?

Indomethacin is commonly referred to by its generic name, “indomethacin.” It is also sold under various brand names depending on the country.

Because brand availability varies by region, tell me your country (or where you bought it), and I can list the specific brand names used there.

Is indomethacin the same as indomethacin extended-release?

Yes. “Indomethacin” refers to the active drug. “Extended-release” (or similar wording) usually describes the formulation, not a different medicine. In those cases, the drug’s other name is often just the same generic with a formulation label (e.g., extended-release indomethacin).

Are there synonyms or closely related names patients may see on labels?

On labels and prescriptions, you may see:
- Indomethacin (generic name)
- Indomethacin + a formulation descriptor (for example, “extended-release”)

If you can share the exact wording from the box or label (including dose form such as capsules, sustained-release, or suppositories), I can confirm whether it’s indomethacin and what name variants it uses.
