Comparing the Effects of Salts of Diclofenac and Almioprofen with Aspirin on Serum Electrolytes, Creatinine and Urea Levels in Rabbits
Comparing the effects of salts of diclofenac and almioprofen with aspirin on serum electrolytes, creatinine and urea levels in rabbits Nawazish-i-Husain Syed*, Farnaz Zehra, Amir Ali Rizvi Syed, Sabiha Karim and Farrakh Zia Khan University College of Pharmacy, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan Abstract: The effects of diclofenac sodium, diclofenac potassium, alminoprofen and aspirin on serum electrolytes (serum Na+ and K+), urea and creatinine were compared in rabbits in acute and chronic phases of treatment. The data suggested that all the four drugs markedly increased the serum electrolytes, urea and creatinine levels in both post- treatment phases. In conclusion, present study does not present any advantage of diclofenac sodium over diclofenac potassium at electrolyte levels on short and long term treatment. Nevertheless, current data support the evidence of renal function impairment by all the four drug therapies used in the present study, which is generally caused by NSAIDS. Keywords: NSAIDs, renal function, serum electrolytes. INTRODUCTION were given fodder twice daily, while water was available ad libitum.
