If so, can I have wine with dinner?
Brief Answer:
if no pain, can stop the medication
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If there is no residual pain at all then you can discontinue the indomethacin.
In terms of the wine, alcohol can promote a gout flare up, though wine is less likely than beer or liquor.
1 small glass/drink typically does not cause an attack in most persons, though it can for a few individuals but more than 1 -2 drinks in a 24 hour period increases the risk of an attack by 36% according to a medical study released in the XXXXXXX Journal of Medicine in 2014
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
