Hi,
I have gone through your query.
In gout, Allopurinol and colcrys are the medicines usually given but better pain management cannot be achieved. Your husband has taken Sulindac 2 hours and now he wants to take Oxycodone or indomethacin.
Yes, He can take indomethacin 6 hours from ingestion of Sulindac. There is no interaction between the two but they can induce additive effect if taken together.
Hope I have answered you.
