[Indometacin glucosamide in the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis (author's transl)].
40 patients with classical or definite rheumatoid arthritis were included in a double blind trial to assess efficacy and side effects of indometacin (n = 20) versus glucametacin (n = 20). In a daily dose of 420 mg glucametacin proved to be equally potent to 150 mg indometacin daily in its anti-inflammatory activity but showed fewer side effects.
