摘要：
The efficacy and safety of a novel sustained-release formulation of ibuprofen given once-daily was compared with conventional-release ibuprofen tablets 400 mg given four times daily, in a single-blind, parallel-group study. This study was conducted at 84 general practice centres throughout the UK among patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. An unequal randomisation in the ratio of 4:1 was carried out, with 463 patients who received sustained-release and 115 who received conventional-release ibuprofen providing evaluable data. In this study sustained-release ibuprofen was shown to be a more effective alternative to conventional ibuprofen therapy for the treatment of arthritic diseases in general practice, offering the convenience of once-daily dosing and the associated potential benefit of improved patient compliance.
