Effects of common drugs on wound healing

on 27.8.08 with 0 comments



  • cortisone and glucocorticoids: decreased protein synthesis, decreased capillary budding, decreased fibroblast growth. wound healing is delayed but not stopped

  • aspirin: no significant effect

  • cytotoxic chemotherapy: surprisingly little effect at the doses we commonly use. cancer chemotherapy is usually postponed for about 6 weeks after therapy
