Abstract

Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have widely been used in patients but side-effects associated with NSAID are also common. Tarantula cubensis extract (TCE) is an antiphlogistic, demarcative, homeopathic and necrotizing drug with wound healing effects in farm animals. However, the therapeutic effects of TCE on gastric ulcers has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the gastroprotective effects of TCE against indomethacin-induced gastric injury in rats.
