Dear colleagues,

Indomethacin adnimistered to Lewis, BN, and F1(Lewis x BN) rats resulted in 
mortality in 4-5 days. Indomethacin was prepared freshly in sodium carbonate 
buffer and administered i.p. or by gavage, 0.5 or 1 mg per rat. The 
recommended dose in the literature is 1 mg/rat/day. I haven't come across any 
report on toxicity at this dosage. It woul be of immense help if someone could 
share his/her experience and suggest alternate means to inhibit the 
cyclooxygenase pathway in rats.

Thanks

Yours sincerely,
