Abstract

The combined effect of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and misoprostol (MISO) on adjuvant arthritis was investigated on rats. Alteration by various doses of MISO and fixed dose of ASA was studied. Drugs were given by the nasogastric route each day beginning from the day of adjuvant injection (day 0) and continued until the 16th day. Paw swelling was measured on days 4, 17, and 29, and secondary lesions were assessed on days 17 and 29. Pathological examination of tibiodorsal junction was also evaluated on the 29th day. The results clearly showed that the combination of MISO with ASA did not inhibit the antiinflammatory effect of ASA. Unexpectedly, MISO increased the antiinflammatory effect of ASA at some dosage regimens.
