etodolac and Ulcer

etodolac has been researched along with Ulcer in 6 studies

Etodolac: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor with potent analgesic and anti-arthritic properties. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of OSTEOARTHRITIS; RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS; ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS; and in the alleviation of postoperative pain (PAIN, POSTOPERATIVE).
etodolac : A monocarboxylic acid that is acetic acid in which one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 1,8-diethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydropyrano[3,4-b]indol-1-yl moiety. A preferential inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase 2 and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, it is used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and for the alleviation of postoperative pain. Administered as the racemate, only the (S)-enantiomer is active.

Ulcer: A lesion on the surface of the skin or a mucous surface, produced by the sloughing of inflammatory necrotic tissue.

" The aims of the present study were to determine, in rats, the role of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of etodolac- and indomethacin-induced gastrointestinal ulceration and blood loss."7.69Neutropenia does not prevent etodolac- or indomethacin-induced gastrointestinal damage in the rat. ( Fuller, J; Gentry, C; Melarange, R; Smith, PH; Toseland, CD, 1995)
" Clinical experience shows etodolac, 300 mg twice daily, given to elderly patients with osteoarthritis for 4 weeks, to be effective and well tolerated in this population."4.79Special considerations in the use of NSAIDs in the elderly. ( Todesco, S, 1994)
