Anyone have exp. w/ online pharmacies???????
I got on an online pharmacy (from overseas, w/out a prescription), and typed up an order just to see the cost. This was about 2 months ago. I stopped at the credit card part, did not complete the order. I recieved a email aasking me to complete my oreder by providing credit card info, but I just deleted it. A few days ago, I recived a brown envelope w/ unmarked pills in it. Now note or bill or description. Nothing. A retuen handwritten address from Brazil. I neer sent payment so don't know why they would send them. Any ideas??????????

INDOMETHACIN for inflammation by the hernia area
This is what "surfaced" during my research on INDOMETHACIN. Brand names:
Indocin Capsules/Suspension/Suppositories;
Indocin SR;
Indochron E-R)
Prescribed for Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, menstrual pain, tendinitis, bursitis, painful shoulder, gout (except Indocin SR), sunburn prevention and treatment (as a cream or lotion), and migraine and cluster headache prevention, (except Indocin SR). Indomethacin can be used to prevent premature labor, but this can affect the development of the baby's heart and should be avoided. The drug is also used in place of surgery to treat a reare condition in premature infants called patent ductos arteriosus, where the baby's heart is not fully formed. Topical Indomethacin has been used as eyedrops to treat a severa and unusual inflammation of part of the retina.
General Information
INDOMETHACINis one of 16 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are used to relieve pain and inflammation.We do not know exactly how NSAIDs work, but part of their action may be due to an ability fo inhibit the body's production of a hormone called prostaglandin and to inhibit the action of other body chemicals, including cyclo-oxygenase, lipoxygenase, leukotrienes, lysosomal enzymes, and a host of other factors. Indomethacin is absorbed into the bloodstream fairly quickly. Pain relief comes about 30 minutes after taking the firs dose and lasts for 4 to 6 hours, but the drug's anti-inflammatory effect takes a week to become apparent, and may take 2 weeks to reach its maximum effect. Indomethacin is broken down in the liver and eliminated through the kidneys.
There's three more pages of data! (cautions, warnings, drug interactions, etc.) I got tire of typing/copying from "The Pill Book" 7th edition (1996). hope this helps
Peace be with you
