Claim 1
Independent Claim
181 words
A method for treating or preventing pain and inflammation in animal tissues, comprising administering to an animal in need of such treatment from about 50 milligrams to about 6000 milligrams per day of an indole-based anti-inflammatory compound selected from indomethacin and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters thereof and from about 200 milligrams to about 2000 milligrams per day of an organophosphonate compound selected from the group consisting of geminal organophosphonates of the formula ##STR6## or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein n is an integer from 1 to about 10; R 3 is selected from the group consisting of H, C 1 -C 20 alkyl or cycloalkyl, C 2 -C 20 alkenyl, aryl, phenylethyl, benzyl, halogen, amino, substituted amino, --CH 2 COOH, --C 2 PO 3 H 2 , --CH(PO 3 H 2 ) (OH) or --CH 2 CH(PO 3 H 2 ) 2 ; and R 4 is selected from the group consisting of H, lower alkyl, amino, benzyl, halogen, --OH, --CH 2 COOH, --CH 2 PO 3 H 2 , or --CH 2 CH 2 PO 3 H 2 .
