After reading about the possible side affects and risks of taking indocin, I wouldn't take it by itself, let alone with anything else. But if you must, there should be no interactions other than they both cause constipation, so you may have a problem on the porcelain throne. It's always best to ask a pharmacist or Dr. to be sure, and most cities offer a free help line at their local hospitals, so I would definately ask a professional.

Indocin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (also called NSAIDs) that are used to relieve some symptoms caused by arthritis (rheumatism), such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. However, this medicine does not cure arthritis and will help you only as long as you continue to take it. Your Vicodin is for pain. You should be ok to take them together, but 1 of the side effects is constipation. You may want to try to take 1 in the morning and the other in the evening or somehow try to break them up.

There should be noo interaction problem with these two medications. You should always check with a pharmacist at the pharmacy that filled it, then you will have no doubts!

  1. Before taking Indocin aches and pain are felt throughout my joints. When I take it at night I sleep better and the following day I feel the pain is diminished by 60% or better. I stop taking them after 3 to 4 days and start when the pain gets unbearable.
