Indomethacin is also used to treat pain in the shoulder caused by bursitis (swelling of a fluid-filled sac in the shoulder joint) and tendinitis (swelling of the tissue that connects muscle to bone). Indomethacin suppositories are also used to treat acute gouty arthritis (attacks of severe joint pain and swelling caused by a build-up of certain substances in the joints). It is used to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Indomethacin is in a class of medications called NSAIDs.
