Title: [A clinical study of the efficacy and tolerance of nimesulide compared to flurbiprofen and sodium diclofenac in the prevention and treatment of postoperative pain and inflammatory symptoms in dentistry]. Author: Amodeo C, De Marco M, Gambarini G. Journal: Minerva Stomatol; 1992 Dec; 41(12):567-76. PubMed ID: 1301491. Abstract: The efficacy and tolerability of a new pharmaceutical formulation of a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug, nimesulide were studied in a double blind study in comparison with flurbiprofen and diclofenac sodium, in 150 patients suffering from postsurgical pain-inflammatory symptoms. The three drugs, administered in a dose of one suppository twice a day for 10 days, showed marked anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activity and produced a significant, progressive improvement in the typical symptoms of the inflammatory state. Nimesulide evidenced the greatest speed and duration of therapeutic action. Assessment on the efficacy and tolerability as expressed separately by the physician and the patients were positive in almost all cases of the three treatments.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
