Materials and MethodS: The analgesic effect of Ondansetron and Aspirin was evaluated in swiss albino mice(n=8). The methods used to produce pain models of animals were chemical method(by intraperitonial injection of .6% of acetic acid) , mechanical method(by tail clip method) and radiant heat method(by analgesiometer).
Results: The analgesic effect of Ondansetron was found to be more than Aspirin in chemically induced pain models (P < 0.05.) Aspirin has better analgesic effect than ondansetron in mechanically induced pain (P< 0.05). Ondansetron has no analgesic effect in pain induced by radiant heat method while aspirin is a good analgesic in this method.
Conclusion:Ondansetron showed superior analgesic effect than that of aspirin in chemically induced pain .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
