In some patients, combined use of indomethacin and diflunisal has been associated with fatal gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Intervention: The concomitant use of indomethacin with other NSAIDs or salicylates, especially diflunisal, is not recommended.

INDOCIN is contraindicated in the following patients: Known hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylactic reactions and serious skin reactions) to indomethacin or any components of the drug product [ see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 , 5.9 ) ] History of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.

History of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs ( 4 )

Avoid administration of more than one NSAID at a time.

In some patients the combined use of indomethacin and diflunisal has been associated with fatal gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Therefore, indomethacin and diflunisal tablets should not be used concomitantly.

Diflunisal tablets should not be given to patients who have experienced asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.

This symptom complex typically occurs in asthmatic patients who experience rhinitis with or without nasal polyps, or who exhibit severe, potentially fatal bronchospasm after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and PRECAUTIONS, Preexisting Asthma ).

The concomitant use of diflunisal tablets and other NSAIDs is not recommended due to the increased possibility of gastrointestinal toxicity, with little or no increase in efficacy.
