Anti-inflammatories may protect limbs from damage after injury

A new pre-clinical study led by Matthew Oetgen, M.D., MBA, and Daniel Casella, M.D., will explore the use of anti-inflammatory medications to prevent the body’s inflammatory response from further damaging limbs after an injury restricts blood flow. Varenicline and cytisine, anti-inflammatories with similarities to nicotine, have shown early promise in similar studies.
