Indomethacin Intravenous and Totacillin-N injection

• Generic Name: indomethacin
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Indocin, Indocin SR, Tivorbex

Indomethacin injection is used to treat patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in premature infants (babies born too early) who weigh between 500 and 1750 grams. PDA is a heart problem where a blood vessel, the ductus arteriosus, fails to close normally after birth. This blood vessel is only used before birth, and is no longer needed after the baby is born. Indomethacin injection works by causing the PDA to constrict, and this closes the blood vessel. Indomethacin is used when other medical treatment for PDA fails after 48 hours.

Indomethacin is available only with your doctor's prescription.
