    Author: Palmer DG, Ferry DG, Gibbins BL, Hall SM, Grennan DM, Lum J, Myers DB.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1981 Jul 22; 94(688):45-7. PubMed ID: 7024866.
    Abstract:
    Both diflunisal (750 mg/day) and ibuprofen (1600 mg/day) were shown to be superior to placebo in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in a double-blind cross-over trial. Neither drug affected lymphocyte transformation to plant mitogens. Diflunisal scored better than ibuprofen at the dose levels chosen but the differences did not reach significance.
