A Study on Anti-Inflammatory Analgesic Effect of Focus Religiosa Compared to Standard Drugs in Wister Rats

Abstract

Inflammation is caused by tissue damage, which is caused by pathogenic causes such tissue injury, infection, or cardiac infarction. Inflammation can be caused by either infectious or noninfectious triggers. Inflammation is characterized by redness, heat, swelling, pain, and loss of tissue function, which results from local vascular, immune, and inflammatory cell responses to any infection or injury. When a tissue is damaged, our bodies send out a series of chemical signals to trigger reactions that promote tissue repair. All of these cues stimulate circulating leukocytes to chemotactically migrate to the site of injury. As a result of being activated, leukocytes release cytokines, which set off other inflammatory processes in the body. Inflammatory disorders can be treated with a wide variety of medications nowadays. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) and steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are two examples that have proven effective. However, due to the potential for major side effects, their usage is limited.
