What is Indometacin?

Indometacin, the active ingredient in Indocollyre, is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an ophthalmic solution for ocular (topical) use. It is employed to reduce inflammation and pain in the eye after surgery or in inflammatory eye disorders. The formulation is designed for direct instillation into the conjunctival sac, allowing rapid drug delivery to ocular tissues.

GNH USA supplies Indocollyre as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. Our distribution network ensures reliable access to qualified eye‑care products across multiple regions.

What is Indometacin used for?

Indocollyre, an ocular NSAID, is indicated for inflammatory conditions of the eye.

Post‑operative ocular inflammation: reduces swelling, pain and redness following eye surgery. Anterior uveitis: controls intra‑ocular inflammation and alleviates associated discomfort. Other inflammatory eye conditions: provides anti‑inflammatory relief in conditions such as iritis or keratitis where NSAID therapy is appropriate.

What are the side effects of Indometacin?

Indocollyre may cause ocular adverse reactions, ranging from mild irritation to rare serious events.

Common Side Effects: - Stinging or burning sensation upon instillation - Transient blurred vision - Conjunctival hyperemia (redness) - Tearing or increased lacrimation - Foreign body sensation

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Corneal epithelial defects or ulceration - Severe allergic reaction (e.g., angioedema, anaphylaxis) - Persistent intra‑ocular inflammation or decreased visual acuity - Vision loss

What precautions apply to Indometacin?

Before prescribing Indocollyre, consider the following precautions to ensure safe use.

- Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to indometacin or other NSAIDs: avoid use to prevent allergic reactions. - Use with caution in individuals with a history of corneal disease or epithelial defects: monitor for delayed healing. - Avoid concurrent use with other topical NSAIDs: increased risk of ocular toxicity. - Do not combine with corticosteroid eye drops without medical supervision: may mask signs of infection. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture.

What does Indometacin interact with?

Indocollyre can interact with systemic and ocular medications; awareness of these interactions helps prevent adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Systemic NSAIDs (oral or injectable): additive risk of systemic prostaglandin inhibition and potential renal or gastrointestinal effects. - Anticoagulant therapy (e.g., warfarin, direct oral anticoagulants): increased risk of bleeding, especially in ocular surgery patients.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Topical corticosteroids: may mask signs of infection; monitor intra‑ocular pressure. - Other ophthalmic NSAID preparations: risk of cumulative toxicity; avoid simultaneous use. - Beta‑blocker eye drops: possible reduction in intra‑ocular pressure effect; observe response.

Frequently asked questions

What is Indocollyre used for?+
Indocollyre is an ophthalmic solution containing indometacin that is prescribed to manage inflammation and pain in the eye. It is commonly used after ocular surgery, in anterior uveitis, and in other inflammatory eye conditions where a topical NSAID is appropriate.
How does indometacin work in the eye?+
Indometacin blocks cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX‑1 and COX‑2) in ocular tissues, preventing the formation of prostaglandins that drive inflammation. By reducing prostaglandin levels, it lowers vascular permeability, leukocyte migration, and nerve activation, which together diminish swelling, redness, and discomfort.
What is the usual dose of Indocollyre?+
The dosing regimen for Indocollyre is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the specific condition, severity, and patient factors. The prescriber will specify the number of drops, frequency, and duration of treatment in the prescription.
Is Indocollyre safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for indometacin eye drops in pregnancy and lactation are limited. The product’s pregnancy category is listed as unknown, so clinicians must weigh potential benefits against risks and consider alternative therapies when treating pregnant or nursing patients.
How do I order Indocollyre from GNH USA?+
To order Indocollyre, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, indicating the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Indocollyre compare with other ocular anti‑inflammatory drugs?+
Indocollyre delivers indometacin, a potent NSAID, directly to the eye, offering rapid anti‑inflammatory action. Compared with corticosteroid eye drops, it has a lower risk of raising intra‑ocular pressure but may be less effective for severe inflammation. Relative to other NSAID eye drops, its efficacy and safety profile are similar, with choice often guided by physician preference and patient tolerance.
How should Indocollyre be stored and handled?+
Indocollyre should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and retain it in its original packaging to protect the solution from contamination.
How is Indocollyre administered?+
The solution is applied as eye drops. The patient tilts the head back, pulls down the lower eyelid to form a pocket, and instills the prescribed number of drops into the conjunctival sac. The eye should be gently closed for a few seconds to allow absorption, avoiding immediate blinking or rubbing.
What are the most serious risks associated with Indocollyre?+
Serious adverse events, though rare, include corneal epithelial defects or ulceration, severe allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis, persistent intra‑ocular inflammation, and potential vision loss. Prompt medical evaluation is essential if any of these symptoms develop.
Who should not use Indocollyre?+
Indocollyre is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to indometacin or any other NSAID. Patients with active corneal ulcers, severe ocular infections, or those who are using other topical NSAIDs without medical supervision should also avoid this medication.
