The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Ligilactobacillus Salivarius 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.

Ligilactobacillus Salivarius 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 Ligilactobacillus Salivarius in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. 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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Indomethacin

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Indomethacin is filed under 9 classifications — including cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) substrates. Ligilactobacillus Salivarius has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being antibiotic drugs (moderate) — and none of Indomethacin’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

What Ligilactobacillus Salivarius Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Indomethacin. It is the side-effect record for Ligilactobacillus Salivarius on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Ligilactobacillus Salivarius, this list is the first place to look. One entry is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Since Ligilactobacillus salivarius preparations contain live and active microorganisms, there is some concern that they might cause pathogenic infection in some patients. Some lactobacilli species have been isolated in cases of bacteremia, sepsis, splenic abscess, endocarditis, necrotizing fasciitis, pancreatic necrosis, and meningoencephalitis.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Ligilactobacillus Salivarius — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Indomethacin’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Indomethacin column appears here.

About Ligilactobacillus Salivarius

What is Ligilactobacillus Salivarius?

  • Digestive and gut health
  • Oral and dental health
  • Immune support
  • Vaginal and urinary health
  • General probiotic supplementation

Ligilactobacillus salivarius (formerly called Lactobacillus salivarius) is a probiotic bacterium found naturally in the mouth and gut of humans and animals. People take it to support digestion, oral health, and immunity, but solid human evidence is still limited for most uses. It is generally well tolerated in healthy people, but those with weakened immune systems should check with a doctor first.

Ligilactobacillus salivarius · Lactobacillaceae · Live bacterial cells (probiotic strain) · Capsules, tablets, chewable tablets, powders, and some fortified foods or oral lozenges

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

Ligilactobacillus Salivarius: dosing

There is no official standardized dose for Ligilactobacillus salivarius. Probiotic doses are usually measured in colony-forming units (CFUs), and the amount varies widely between products.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label, since doses are tied to the specific strain and formulation.

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
