title: Comparative study of fluproquazone in the management of post-operative pain.
abstract: 41 patients suffering from moderate to severe pain were included in a multicentric double-blind study comparing 100 mg 4-(p-fluorophenyl)-1-isopropyl-7-methyl-2(1H)-quinazolinone (fluproquazone) to 250 mg mefenamic acid during a three-day period. Both medications produced a clinically highly relevant analgesic effect in the patient population considered. Fluproquazone appears to be significantly more effective than mefenamic acid after the first dose as well as after 6-h period. Fluproquazone was better tolerated than mefenamic acid: one and four patients, respectively, experienced side-effects in the two treatment groups. These results indicate a significantly better therapeutic profile for fluproquazone as compared to mefenamic acid in the management of post-operative pain.
