Indomethacin

PHILADELPHIA — No significant differences were observed in post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis with prophylactic diclofenac vs. indomethacin, with researchers also reporting savings of nearly $133,000.

The FDA has approved an abbreviated new drug application from ANI Pharmaceuticals for indomethacin oral suspension, a generic version of Indocin oral suspension, according to a press release from the manufacturer.

Lactated Ringer’s solution infusion combined with rectal indomethacin reduced the incidence and readmission rates for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis compared with either management strategy alone.
