Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the prevention effect of esomeprazole on clopidogrel-induced gastric mucosal lesions.
Methods One hundred and twenty SD rats were divided into three groups randomly, which were intragastric administrated with normal saline, clopidogrel and esomeprazole combined with clopidogrel, respectively.The rats were executed after 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days, 10 rats for each group each time, then the stomach mucosas were observed and the scores of gastric mucosal injury were evaluated by using Guth system.
Results Esomeprazole could significantly reduce the incidence of mucosal injury (65.0% vs 42.5%, P=0.044). The scores of ulcer index of combined group were lower than that of clopidogrel group.The degree of injury of combined group did not change significantly over time.
Conclusions Clopidogrel could induce gastric mucosal injury. Esomeprazole could effectively prevent clopidogrel-induced gastric mucosal injury.
