title: Ketoprofen - clinical efficacy.
abstract: Ketoprofen has, over the last few years, undergone extensive clinical trials in many centres throughout the world and these are reviewed. Adequately controlled trials have established its undoubted clinical efficacy as an antirheumatic agent in all the major rheumatic diseases, and have demonstrated therapeutic potency, comparable with other established non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs.
