Abstract
The analgesic effect of an injectable salt of indomethacin, methylglucamine indomethacinate, in patients with acute ureteral and biliary pain was studied. Of 106 patients treated by the i.m. (average dose 72.6 mg) or i.v. (average dose 36.1 mg) route, 76 (71.6%) had complete relief of pain and 4 were remarkably improved. In 68.8% of the cases, complete relief was reached within 1 h from the start of treatment. No important side effects were observed. Headache, nausea and drowsiness were reported in a few cases.
