This research used 25 test animals that were divided into five groups. All groups were induced with 100% egg whites with subplantar method, after 60 minutes each group was given different suspension. The negative control group was given a 0.5% Na CMC suspension, meanwhile positive control group was given 9 mg / 200 gBB mefenamic acid, and the third, fourth, and fifth groups were given test suspension with variation of dose 200, 250, 300 mg / 200 gBB, then measured again inflammation volume with pletismometer for 6 hours with 60 minutes interval.
