Abstract

In a double-blind cross-over comparison of two mild analgesic compound tablets patients in moderate or severe pain showed a significant preference for the pentazocine-paracetamol compound tablet. Side effects were of a minor nature only and no patient dropped out of the trial because of them. It is concluded that significantly more patients (p <0.01) prefer the pentazocine-paracetamol compound to the dextropropoxyphene-paracetamol compound.
