Artrofoon as alternative preparation in the treatment of uncomplicated forms of nonspecific ulcerative colitis.

Therapy of uncomplicated nonspecific ulcerative colitis with artrofoon effectively reduces the duration and number of relapses. During remissions, the count of apudocytes, serotonin-, melatonin-, vasointestinal peptide-producing, and mast cells and the parameters of cell homeostasis against the background of artrofoon therapy were much closer to the normal than during treatment with salofalk.
