Metronidazole reduces intestinal inflammation and blood loss in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug induced enteropathy.

Abstract: This study assessed the effect of metronidazole on the gastroduodenal mucosa, intestinal permeability, blood loss, and inflammation in patients on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Thirteen patients were studied before and after 2-12 weeks' treatment with metronidazole 800 mg/day, while maintaining an unchanged NSAID intake. Intestinal inflammation, as assessed by the faecal excretion of indium-ill labelled neutrophils, and blood loss, assessed with chromium-51 labelled red cells, were significan… Show more

“…And long-term administration of prophylactic drugs is needed for chronic users of NSAIDs or aspirin, especially patients with experience of small intestinal bleeding. Until recently, some trials showed the efficacy of metronidazole, sulfasalazine, and misoprostol for treatment of NSAID-induced injury [45][46][47]. However, in these studies, efficacy was indirectly evaluated by measuring several markers such as hemoglobin levels and fecal excretion of radiolabeled neutrophils, so their effectiveness has not yet been fully confirmed.…”

“…However, even if temporary cessation of the NSAIDs is possible, long-term cessation of NSAIDs is frequently impossible, and long-term administration of prophylactic drugs is needed for chronic users of NSAIDs or aspirin, especially patients who experience small intestinal bleeding. Some trials have shown the efficacy of metronidazole, sulfasalazine and misoprostol for treatment of NSAIDinduced injury (11)(12)(13). Clinically, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and PG analogs are the first-choice drugs for the prevention of NSAID-induced peptic ulcers and bleeding (14).…”

“…I. Bjarnason и соавт. [54] сообщили, что у больных ревмато-идным артритом, получавших различные НПВП, включая АСК, прием метронидазола в аналогичной дозе привел к снижению выраженности воспаления тонкой кишки. Между тем примене-ние метронидазола ограничено по времени и может иметь само-стоятельное неблагоприятное значение в изменении состава и численности микробиоты кишечника.…”
