Abstract |
A double-blind versus placebo clinical study has been carried out in order to assess the antiinflammatory and analgesic activity of nimesulide suppositories in pain-inflammatory pathologies of odontostomatological nature. Forty-four patients aged between 18 and 62 were recruited for the purpose and assigned at random to treatment with nimesulide or placebo for a minimum period of 3 days. Treatment with nimesulide reduced both the pain and the tumefaction due to the inflammatory pathology more rapidly and, by the 3rd day of treatment led to complete remission of the symptomatology. Tolerability of nimesulide was excellent.
