Rectal v. intravenous administration of indomethacin in the treatment of renal colic.
Rectal administration of 100 mg indomethacin in solution had as good, and almost as rapid, an effect on renal colic as 50 mg given intravenously. Side effects were significantly fewer with the rectal than with the intravenous route.
