Analgesics tramadol and morphine were used in mice injected with Bothrops asper venom. Analgesics did not alter the acute toxicity of B. asper venom in mice. Precautionary (prophylactic) analgesia should be ...

The effect of several drugs on the edema-forming activity of Bothrops asper venom was studied plethysmographically using the mouse foot pad assay. Bothrops asper venom induced a dose-dependent edema which developed rapidly ...
