Efficacy and tolerability of ketoprofen 200 mg controlled-release cps vs indomethacin 50 mg cps in patients with symptomatic hip osteoarthritis. A multicentre study.

BACKGROUND: An open-label, randomised, multicentre study was carried out to compare the efficacy and tolerability of indomethacin capsules and ketoprofen controlled-release capsules in the symptomatic treatment of coxarthrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 113 out-patients were enrolled: 57 were assigned to receive indomethacin 50 mg twice daily and 56 ketoprofen 200 mg once daily for 4 weeks. RESULTS: Indomethacin and ketoprofen proved equally effective in relieving osteoarticular pain and stiffness and in improving the quality of life of patients. There was essentially no difference as to gastrointestinal adverse events which occurred in 25% of patients on indomethacin and in 27% of those on ketoprofen. Indomethacin caused more non-gastrointestinal untoward effects, especially CNS effects (headache and dizziness: 11%) which were not observed with ketoprofen. Indomethacin was discontinued because of adverse events in a larger proportion of patients (20%) than ketoprofen (11%).[1]
