Abstract
We have compared single oral doses of drinkable diclofenac dispersible (50 mg) with ibuprofen (400 mg) and placebo in a randomized, double-b lind, parallel-group trial in 127 adults complaining of at least moder ately severe pain after removal of an impacted third molar. Within 40 min both diclofenac and ibuprofen produced significant pain relief tha t persisted for 6 h. There were no differences between diclofenac and ibuprofen in analgesic efficacy.
