ABSTRACT
Acute and chronic effects of benzydamine (BEZ) and its interactions with ethanol (EtOH) were examined on open field locomotion. Male Swiss mice were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 15, 30 or 60 mg kg of BEZ alone or in combination with EtOH (2.0 mg/k, i.p.). Pretreatment with BEZ (60 mg/kg) produced a significant decrease in EtOH-induced behavioral stimulation. Chronic administration of BEZ (15mg/kg/day for 21 days) intensified locomotor response induced by EtOH, suggesting the development of behavioral sensitization. The results show that BEZ can interact with EtOH suggesting that alcohol drinkers should be educated about risks of BEZ toxicity.
