Abstract
SynopsisIbuprofen, is a new non-steroidal agent advocated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteo-arthrosis and allied rheumatic conditions.Although ibuprofen has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory activity in certain tests in animals, this effect has not been striking in the therapeutic trials published to date. Its analgesic activity is less than that of aspirin when full dosages are compared, but occasional patients may prefer it to aspirin and other drugs because of fewer gastro-intestinal complaints.
