Indomethacin is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory agent widely employed in the treatment of premature contractions. Indomethycin induced oligohydramnios is a well described side-effect, and is considered an indication for treatment discontinuation. We present a case of prolonged anhydramnios, secondary to indomethacin therapy with no apparent ill-effect on the fetus or neonate.
