Fecal blood loss was evaluated in normal subjects with 51Cr-labeled red cells. In a double-blind parallel study in 10 subjects, 250 mg diflunisal twice daily did not significantly increase blood loss in two consecutive treatment periods, while 750 mg acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 4 times daily did so. In a double-blind crossover study in 2 subjects, diflunisal, 250 mg twice daily again did not significantly affect fecal blood loss during a 4-day treatment period, and there also was no significant effth diflunisal during two additional treatment days. ASA, 600 mg 4 times daily, induced an increase in blood loss and this effect was significantly enhanced by the addition of alcohol. The difference between treatments in the way they interact with alcohol was also statistically significant.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.

D001241 Aspirin The prototypical analgesic used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties and acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase which results in the inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Aspirin also inhibits platelet aggregation and is used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis.
