Abstract
Tn a case control study of adverse drug reactions in children, the odds rat io of developing a serious mucocutaneous event among users of niflumic acid , adjusted for concomitant use of all other drugs, was 4.9 (95% CI 1.9 to 1 2.8), Given the availability of safer analgesics and antipyretics, there is no indication, in our opinion, that requires the prescription of substance s which bear an increased risk.
