Abstract
A double-blind crossover study compared sodium meclofenamate (300 mg daily) and ibuprofen (900 mg daily) in thirty patients with osteoarthritis. Each treatment period was of 3 weeks duration. Both drugs were effective in reducing the severity of joint symptoms and in improving the range of motion, with the exception of spine movement which did not show any changes from the baseline. Tolerance was good.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
