The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Blood Type Diet and Indomethacin in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Blood Type Diet and Indomethacin

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Indomethacin and Blood Type Diet in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Blood Type Diet alongside specific medications may be limited.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Blood Type Diet at all — not against Indomethacin, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

Blood Type Diet is an eating pattern rather than something you take. Ask your pharmacist or doctor before changing how you eat while on a prescribed medicine: some medicines are dosed around meals, and a change in diet can change how they work. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Blood Type Diet safety at a glance

Blood Type Diet overall Use caution The diet itself is generally food-based, but restricting whole food groups may lead to nutrient gaps.
Pregnancy Use caution Restrictive eating plans may limit needed nutrients during pregnancy; check with your doctor first.
Breastfeeding Use caution Avoid overly restrictive versions while nursing and ensure adequate calories and nutrients.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What to actually watch for

What Indomethacin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Blood Type Diet. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Indomethacin’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you follow Blood Type Diet and take the medicine. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Hearing loss Worth acting on
  • Muscle weakness Worth acting on
  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • High potassium Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Fainting Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 56 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Indomethacin. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 13,179 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Indomethacin that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Blood Type Diet’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Blood Type Diet side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Blood Type Diet has no side effects.

About Blood Type Diet

What is Blood Type Diet?

  • Weight loss
  • General wellness
  • Heart health
  • Digestive health
  • Reducing inflammation

The Blood Type Diet claims that eating foods matched to your ABO blood type improves health and weight, but good-quality studies have not shown that blood type determines who benefits from a given diet. Any health improvements people see are more likely from simply eating more whole, unprocessed foods. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before making big changes, especially if you have a health condition.

Eating plan (whole-food diet based on ABO blood type)

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Blood Type Diet is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Blood Type Diet record says about it on its own.

Blood Type Diet: dosing

There is no "dose" for the Blood Type Diet — it is an eating pattern, not a pill. Followers are given food lists for their blood type and adjust meals accordingly.If you want to try it, focus on the healthy parts (more whole foods, fewer processed foods) and make sure you still get a full range of nutrients. A pharmacist, doctor, or registered dietitian can help you plan a balanced version and decide whether any supplement, such as a multivitamin, is needed.

About Indomethacin

What Is Indomethacin Used For?

Brand names: Indocin, Indocin SR, Indo-Lemmon, Indomethagan, Tivorbex

Indomethacin oral suspension and rectal suppository forms (including Indocin oral suspension and Indocin suppositories) are used to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (including acute flares), moderate to severe ankylosing spondylitis (spine inflammation), moderate to severe osteoarthritis, acute painful shoulder (bursitis and/or tendinitis), and acute gouty arthritis. Oral capsules — both immediate-release and extended-release — share these same approved uses, except that extended-release capsules are not approved for acute gouty arthritis.

Indomethacin for Injection (intravenous) is a completely separate use: it is given to premature infants to close a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (a blood vessel near the heart that should close after birth but hasn't) when standard medical management has not worked.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Indomethacin

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (13,179 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Fatigue 1,141 reports
Headache 1,047 reports
Arthralgia 1,032 reports
Nausea 938 reports
Diarrhea 897 reports
