The acute effect of three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and indoprofen, on faecal blood loss was investigated in 15 subjects by means of 51Cr-labelled erythrocytes. Ibuprofen (900 mg/day for 5 days) and indoprofen capsules and tablets (300 mg and 600 mg/day for 5 days, respectively) slightly increased the amount of blood eliminated in faeces. The increase was of the same order of magnitude for both doses of indoprofen. ASA (1,500 mg/day for 5 days) caused about a 6-fold increase in blood loss. Four days after withdrawal of ASA, faecal blood was still about twice as high as in faeces of subjects given ibuprofen and indoprofen. The method appears sensitive and reliable for comparison of the immediate effect of anti-inflammatory drugs on gastrointestinal mucosa.

Using improved techniques in a study of faecal blood loss no significant change over control level occurred during administration of mefenamic acid 500 mg t.i.d. for six days. This lack of gastro-intestinal bleeding is at variance with earlier findings for this compound. Studies of two mefenamic acid formulations (250 mg capsule and 500 mg filmseal tablet) showed no significant difference in area under blood level curves or in urinary output data, indicating equivalent total absorption. The 500 mg film-coated tablet gave significantly higher serum levels at 0·5 hours, whereas the 250 mg capsule gave significantly higher serum levels at 6 and 8 hours.

Abstract In nine patients with various diseases and in two normal subjects, administration of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) in amounts of 3-4 Gm. per day produced a drop in serum iron. This drop could not be explained by chemical interference with the determination, by blood loss, impaired absorption or increased excretion of iron. In addition, it was shown that during administration of salicylates the survival time of the red cells was diminished. It is suggested that salicylates might produce anemia not only by gastrointestinal bleeding but also by interference with the metabolism of iron through some unknown mechanism.

Several models are described for the measurement of drug effects on bleeding. The-haemostatic mechanism in large vessels is largely dissimilar from that in small vessels. Pharmacological bleeding models in which small vessels are used can be expected to be most relevant for the clinical situation, but these models have the disadvantage of a low reproducibility. Therefore, We developed a model in which reproducible bleeding is induced in small vessels. Male rats are anaesthetized with Nembutal®. The bleeding is induced by ripping off a flap of abdominal slcin from the underlying tissue. The “wound” is covered with a gauze and blood loss·is measured. Low doses of heparin (~350 IU/kg i.v.) which block the formation of fibrin do not affect the blood loss. However, higher doses of heparin (~700 and 1400 IU/kg i.v.) increase the blood loss significantly. Blood loss is also increased by treatment withanti-platelet serum. Acetylsalicylic acid, sulfinpyrazone and Org 4122 in doset active in experimental arterial thrombosis, do not affect the blood loss. There is no agreement in literature about the effects of acetylsalicylic acid and sulfinpyrazone in clinical bleeding time tests, but heparin, when given as i.v. bolus injections (7500-10000 IU) induces bleeding in quite a number of patients. Because our results are comparable to results obtained in humans and because of the good reproducibility, this test has advantages above other existing animal bleeding tests.
