title: Gastrointestinal cytoprotection by indomethacin + sodium salicylate combination in rat.
abstract: Non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents are well known to cause gastrointestinal damage in many species including the rat and human. Pelsonin a combination of indomethacin and sodium salicylate (1:10 ratio) has a cytoprotective effect against acidic-alcohol induced gastric necrosis, and it does not induce intestinal ulceration. Pelsonin is capable of blocking the formation of intestinal ulcers induced by oral indomethacin 10 mg/kg (curative cytoprotection). The cytoprotective potency of Pelsonin is due to sodium salicylate.
