The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Methoxylated Flavones 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.

Methoxylated Flavones 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 Methoxylated Flavones 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. Methoxylated Flavones has documented interactions with 5 drug classes — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate), cytochrome p450 1a2 (cyp1a2) substrates (moderate) and cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates (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 Indomethacin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Methoxylated Flavones. 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 take both. 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. Methoxylated Flavones’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Methoxylated Flavones side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Methoxylated Flavones has no side effects.

Special populations

Methoxylated Flavones in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy And Lactation Likely Safe

When consumed orally in amounts typically found in foods. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of methoxylated flavones when used in amounts greater than those found in foods during pregnancy or breast-feeding; avoid using in amounts greater than those typically found in foods.

About Methoxylated Flavones

What is Methoxylated Flavones?

  • Antioxidant support
  • Circulation and blood vessel health
  • Anti-inflammatory support
  • Skin and aging support
  • General 'metabolism' or wellness blends

Methoxylated flavones (often called polymethoxyflavones) are a group of plant compounds, found mainly in citrus peel, that include substances like nobiletin and tangeretin. Lab and animal studies suggest possible antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, but solid human research is very limited, so their real-world benefits are unproven. Talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using them, especially if you take medicines or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Plant-derived flavonoids (often from citrus peel and other plants) · Capsules, tablets, powders, and combination flavonoid supplements

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

Methoxylated Flavones: dosing

There is no established standard dose for methoxylated flavones. Products vary widely in how much they contain and what other ingredients they are combined with.If you choose to use one, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed the recommended amount.

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
