title: [Clinical experiences with tenoxicam. Preliminary results of a multicenter study].
abstract: Preliminary data concerning the efficacy and tolerability of tenoxicam in a large, multicenter Italian study are presented. In many centres 625 patients (31% of the total) have been evaluated: 283 patients with osteoarthrosis and 342 with extra-articular rheumatism completed the study. Efficacy of tenoxicam (20 mg/die) was stated as equivalent or superior to reference drugs (diclofenac 100 R, piroxicam 20 mg). Tolerability profile has been generally good; tenoxicam, in particular showed the lowest incidence of side effects (7.4%).
