meclofenamic acid and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome

meclofenamic acid has been researched along with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome in 2 studies

Meclofenamic Acid: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent with antipyretic and antigranulation activities. It also inhibits prostaglandin biosynthesis.
meclofenamic acid : An aminobenzoic acid that is anthranilic acid in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a 2,6-dichloro-3-methylphenyl group. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it is used as the sodium salt for the treatment of dysmenorrhoea (painful periods), osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome: An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In this study we treated groups of MAIDS-infected mice with combinations of pentoxifylline, an agent which increases cAMP and inhibits phosphodiesterases, and sodium meclofenamic acid, a PgE2 inhibitor."1.29Pentoxifylline and meclofenamic acid treatment reduces clinical manifestations in a murine model of AIDS.
