Comparison of gastrointestinal blood loss induced by cloximate in two formulations and by naproxen.

In a double-blind baseline controlled crossover trial gastrointestinal blood loss induced by cloximate in two different formulations (enteric-coated and non-enteric coated) was compared with naproxen. Gastrointestinal blood loss increased more in the naproxen group (0.41 ml/24 h) than in the group treated with non-enteric coated cloximate. The group treated with coated cloximate had a higher mean increase in gastrointestinal blood loss (0.36 ml/24 h) compared with placebo than those treated with non-coated cloximate.
