title: Effect of pirazolac on prostanoid synthesis by human gastric mucosa in vitro.
abstract: Pirazolac concentration-relatedly inhibited the accumulation of prostanoids in incubates of human gastric mucosa, but this inhibition was less than that by indomethacin and other commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This difference may explain the claim that pirazolac is less damaging to the stomach.
