Effects of Loperamide on Mechanical Allodynia Induced by Herpes Simplex Virus Type-1 in Mice
In the present study, we investigated whether the peripherally acting µ-opioid receptor agonist loperamide would inhibit allodynia in the non-inflamed dermatome of mice with herpetic pain. Subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of loperamide (1 and 3 mg/kg) inhibited allodynia. Local (intraplantar) injection...
