Average level of COX-2 in patients with gastroduodenal lesions, caused by NSAIDs, decreased by 1.5 times and made up (2.02 ± 0.11) c.u. before treatment and (1.27 ± 0.09) c.u after treatment by the regimen № 1; it decreased by 2 times and made up (2.00 ± 0.16) c.u and (0.95 ± 0.09) c.u. relatively before and after the treatment by regimen № 2.
