ABSTRACT
The effects of ranitidine (2 mg/kg, po) and phenylbutazone (100 mg/kg po) have been studied in different models of acute and chronic inflammation in rats. Ranitidine showed significant anti-inflammatory activity in the four models used. This observation supports the concept that histamine has a pro-inflammatory role that is mediated via stimulation of H2-receptors.
