S(+)-ibuprofen (dexibuprofen)--Excellent tolerance has not to be combined with poor clinical efficacy.
S(+)-ibuprofen (dexibuprofen) is an NSAID offering a lot of advantages in the treatment of rheumatism and pain. A randomized double-blind, parallel group study in 110 patients showed equivalence in efficacy of 900 mg dexibuprofen (Seractil 300 mg, Gebro Fieberbrunn, Austria) vs. 150 mg diclofenac sodium. Regarding tolerance there was a trend to superiority of dexibuprofen. Therefore dexibuprofen can be characterized as an effective and very tolerable drug against inflammation and pain.
