FASTER acting analgesic
formulations provide earlier onset
of pain relief, better overall pain
relief and a less frequent need for
additional analgesia, according to a
recent study.
Published in the European Journal
of Pain, the research looked at
individual patient data analysis
of 322 participants in a trial of
placebo, paracetamol, ibuprofen
sodium and ibuprofen-poloxamer
following third molar extraction.
Visual analogue scale pain
intensity (VASPI) scores were
found to fall rapidly following
both ibuprofen formulations and
rapid reduction in the first hour
correlated with good overall
pain relief with lesser need for
additional analgesia within six
hours, the research said.
