Abstract
Data on the treatment of patients over the age of 65 years were extracted from the computer records of a long-term multi-centre study of ibuprofen. Patients were suffering from rheumatoid disease, osteoarthrosis or an allied condition. Records from 231 patients were available for analysis. Duration of therapy with ibuprofen ranged from 3 months to over 5 years. Assessments of clinical progress, as judged by both patients and physicians, changes in biochemical and haematological parameters, and side-effects showed that ibuprofen is an effective form of therapy and is generally well tolerated in the elderly.
