Brief Answer: Yes, you can take it. Detailed Answer: Hello! Thank you for the query. As you take stomach acid secretion medicine in high dosage, you can take Indomethacin and it wont cause any stomach issues (like an ulcer or inflammation). H.Pylori is a bacteria which has nothing in common with NSAID medicines. You need to get infected (with foods for example) to get this bacteria back. If its about ligament inflammation, I suggest you to consult Orthopedist with this issue. Knee MRI might be necessary. Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions. Regards.
