title: [Diflunisal, a new analgesic, and oxyphenbutazone in the treatment of sprains and dislocations (author's transl)].
abstract: In a randomized double-blind study efficacy and tolerance of diflunisal, 375 mg twice daily, and oxyphenbutazone, 200 mg twice daily, were compared in 40 patients (aged 21 to 70 years, average 38 years), with moderate or severe complaints after spraining or dislocating ankle or wrist. The drugs were given for five days. Both proved to be highly efficacious, diflunisal slightly more so. Among the 20 patients in the diflunisal group one developed diarrhoea, another gastritis; in the oxyphenbutazone group one developed gastritis, another herpetiform pustules. There were no clinically significant abnormalities in routine biochemical tests.
