Indomethacin Sodium
This sodium salt of indomethacin is the intravenous formulation used primarily in neonatal medicine to close patent ductus arteriosus, an abnormal blood vessel connection near the heart that should close after birth. Like the oral form, it inhibits prostaglandin synthesis through COX inhibition. The injectable form provides rapid systemic effects.
