Note : Result: When indomethacin given with sunflower, corn and olive oils reduced paw edema induced by carrageenan by 79.5%, 74.0% and 60.5%, whereas individual indomethacin and diclofenac reduced paw edema by 56.2% and 50.7%, resp. Besides, the administration of indomethacin together with the vegetable oils and alpha-tocopherol did not cause a statistically significant gastric damage in rats (P > 0.05). However, indomethacin caused statistically significant gastric lesions as compared with untreated rats (P < 0.05). These results suggest that indomethacin as well as other NSAIDs do not have any adverse effect on the gastrointestinal tract when they are used together with vetgetable oils and vitamin E or as the preparations of the oils.
