Hi. Indomethacin is not safe during lactation. Please request your doctor to change the medication that is safe while feeding the baby

Indomethacin in low levels is acceptable but There are no particular studies on its safety . But it’s better to use drugs that are more published . U can consult with your rheumatologist for alternate medication if possible
