Researchers to study Indomethacin’s impact on oxygen need in Covid patients

After seeing encouraging results in a pilot study done last year, Indian researchers are now planning to conduct a randomised control trial (RCT) to understand the efficacy and safety of indomethacin in providing faster symptomatic relief and reduction in oxygen requirement in Covid-19 patients.
Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to reduce fever, pain, stiffness, and swelling caused by rheumatoid arthritis.
In December 2020, Medrxiv published a preprint of a study conducted by a group of doctors, who advanced the case use of Indomethacin for faster symptomatic relief and preventing progression of pneumonia in Covid-19 patients.
