[Effectiveness and safety of Lubor capsules in patients with gonarthrosis and extra-articular rheumatism].
We performed the double-blind study comparing the two groups of patients with osteoarthrosis. One group was receiving one Lubor ampoul a day during 14 days, while the other group received also one ampoul of Voltaren during 14 days. The other group consisted of patients with soft tissue rheumatism who were treated with Lubor or Ketonal cream during 14 days. The duration of the morning stiffness of the knee joint was shortened significantly in the patients who were treated by Lubor ampouls. The intensity of pain during various activities was also significantly reduced. The objective parameters: the distance between the top of the patella and the xypohoid process and the extent of movements were improved at the end of the therapy. In the patients treated with Lubor cream we observed the significant reducement of the intensity of the pain. Two new forms of Lubor (ampouls and cream) with capsules and suppositories enrich the large choice of this drug; it can be given in the large number of implications, it has the better adjustment of application and doses. Because of the very rare side-effects it provides the safety for the patient and physician.
