Nasal Blockage Induced by Oral Administration of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs in a Guinea-Pig Model of Allergic Rhinitis

To elucidate the mechanisms underlying nasal symptoms in patients with aspirin hypersensitivity, we evaluated the effects of orally administered non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the nasal patency of guinea pigs with cedar pollen–induced chronic allergic rhinitis. Indomethacin (10 mg...

description To elucidate the mechanisms underlying nasal symptoms in patients with aspirin hypersensitivity, we evaluated the effects of orally administered non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on the nasal patency of guinea pigs with cedar pollen–induced chronic allergic rhinitis. Indomethacin (10 mg/kg) administered 1 h before a pollen challenge amplified the antigen-induced nasal blockage. More interestingly, even in the absence of the pollen challenge, indomethacin induced nasal blockage at 30 min at 4 h after administration. However, indomethacin-induced nasal blockage was not provoked in non-sensitized animals. Another NSAID, diclofenac (30 mg/kg), also evoked nasal blockage, but unexpectedly, aspirin (500 mg/kg) did not affect nasal patency. Indomethacin-induced nasal blockage was unaffected by a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor (CysLT1 receptor) antagonist, pranlukast (30 mg/kg, p.o.), or by prostaglandin E2 (10− M, intranasal), suggesting that the nasal blockage may not be due to hyperproduction of cysteinyl leukotrienes or inhibition of prostaglandin E2 production. These results indicate that the indomethacin-induced nasal blockage may not be an identical phenomena to airway symptoms in aspirin hypersensitivity patients. However, because chronic nasal inflammation is indispensable for the development of nasal blockage, indomethacin-induced nasal blockage may become a clue to elucidate new mechanisms underlying hypersensitivity to NSAIDs. Keywords:: nasal blockage, indomethacin, aspirin, cysteinyl leukotriene, prostaglandin E2
