چکیده
A double-blind cross-over study of ketoprofen (Orudis) 150 mg daily and ibuprofen (Brufen) 1,200 mg daily was carried out in 35 outpatients with rheumatoid arthritis. Results suggest that analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of ketoprofen is superior to that of ibuprofen. Significantly greater pain relief (P < 0.05) and reduction in joint circumference (P < 0.01) was obtained with ketoprofen than with ibuprofen. Side effects of the drugs were comparable and not serious.
