PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS OF NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES AND AROMATIC HYDROXYSULPHONIC ACID DERIVATIVES

摘要

A pharmaceutical composition for treating an inflammatory condition contains a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and a physiologically acceptable aromatic hydroxysulphonic acid. The two components may be for simultaneous, separate or sequential use. Administration of the two components, for example of aspirin with ethamsylate, reduces the damage which the NSAID does to the gastrointestinal tract while having no deleterious effect on the anti-inflammatory activity.
