The authors studied the tolerance of three nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, voltaren, indomethacin and ibuprofen by rats at different times of pregnancy and compared voltaren tolerance by pregnant and nonpregnant females. It was shown that as compared to nonpregnant animals, pregnant animals tolerated voltaren more poorly. The tolerance of both voltaren and indomethacin was particularly poor in the last trimester of pregnancy. The enhancement of the drug toxicity during pregnancy because of the changes in body function is discussed.
