Indomethacin generic and brand name?

What are the brand and generic names for indomethacin?

Indomethacin’s generic name is indomethacin. Common brand names include Indocin and Tivorbex.

Are Indocin and Tivorbex the same medicine?

Yes. Indocin and Tivorbex are brand-name versions of indomethacin (the active ingredient is indomethacin), but they can differ in the specific formulation (for example, immediate-release vs extended-release) depending on the product.

How do patients typically find indomethacin on prescriptions?

Prescriptions may be written as either:
- Generic: indomethacin
- Brand: Indocin or Tivorbex (depending on what the prescriber or pharmacy provides)

If a prescription is written for a brand, the pharmacist may still substitute a generic depending on local rules and the prescription instructions (for example, “dispense as written” vs allowing substitution).

Is there a DrugPatentWatch page for indomethacin?

DrugPatentWatch tracks drug patent/exclusivity information by drug and brand, but the platform is most useful for questions about patent status, not just the brand/generic name mapping. If you want, tell me which brand name you’re looking at (Indocin vs Tivorbex), and I can point you to the most relevant DrugPatentWatch entry.
