The aim is to evaluation of anti-inflammatory effect of Venlafaxine in Wistar Albino Rats. Wistar Albino rats were used in the study. Total 18 rats were divided into three groups each of 6 rats. G-A (Control), G-B- Aspirin (300 mg/kg) and G-C (Venlafaxine (50 mg/kg). All the drugs given 30 min before induction of paw inflammation by Carrageenan. Data was expressed by MEAN±SD and percentage (%). SPSS software was used for statistical analysis of data. Rats treated with standard and test drug showed significant difference compared to control group. Aspirin showed significant anti-inflammatory effect compared to Venlafaxine group. Similar results were observed in percentage of inflammation and reduction in percentage of inflammation. Venlafaxine produced anti-inflammatory action in paw model in rats. The anti-inflammatory effect of test drug is similar to Aspirin.
