Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with a single daily dose of benoxaprofen.
A single daily dose of 600 mg of henoxaprofen has been shown to be more effective than a previously reported dosage regime in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Increased total daily dosage was not associated with a greater incidence of side-effects. The drug worked slowly reaching a plateau after eight days of treatment. It was usually well tolerated especially by the gastro-intestinal tract.
