Summary
14C-Indomethacin (ID) was applied to the skin of guinea-pigs as an ointment. After several applications, the concentration of ID in the skin and muscle under the applied site reached a constant level. The concentration of ID in the muscle as well as the skin may be enough to exert an anti-inflammatory effect.
