Is it allowed to take Indomethacin during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

It is excreted into breast milk in non-significant clinically amounts.There has not been side-effects described in children from treated mothers, except for a case reported in 1978 with convulsions in a newborn infant whose mother received a higher dose than recommended. However, a causal relationship was questioned by other author in the same publication. Usually, breast milk and infant plasma levels have been found to be undetectable. It has been successfully used with no side-effects on treated mothers who had high levels of Prostaglandin E (PGE) whose infants were suffering of “physiologic diarrhea) This drug is used in neonates.The American Academy of Pediatrics rates it as usually compatible with breastfeeding.

I tried with just water and did not work well for me. I was dizzy and did not feel well. I tried with food / meal and has changed my gout pain by 70-80%. have not had any of side effects since I took with food. I changed jobs and had to be on my feet 6-8 hrs a day. On take as needed but have found 1 pill taken 2-3 hrs into shift works for me.

My condition worsened after taking this medication; increased pain and swelling to the point I can barely walk. However, no side effects like nausea, dizziness, or drowsiness.

I find that it can take up to 8 hours to relieve an attack. I think you have to accept it is no quick fix. Relieving the symptoms by chilling the area affected helps until then. It has no effect on the leukocytes that are causing the inflammatory response (and subsequent pain) already in the bloodstream. It does make me a bit dizzy for a short time, but that is a small price to pay for the eventual relief. Everyone is different and what works for one doesnt necessarily work for all.

Not a drug that you can take prior to exercise to avoid gout. It makes me, a 200 lb male; loopy to the point of having trouble staying upright, and then sleepy on the 50 mg tablet. Taken at bedtime is likely a much better suggestion.

Extremely effective and It will start giving you relief within 4 to 6 hours and within 24 hours gone completely.
