AbstractLysine acetylsalicylate (LAS) is a soluble salt of acetylsalicylic acid and can be given parenterally. LAS 12.5 mg kg-1 and 25 mg kg-1 were compared with oxycodone 0.15 mg kg-1 in the treatment of pain after operation in 60 patients undergoing varicose vein surgery. Both treatments almost completely relieved moderate to severe pain for the 3-h observation period. The time until the peak of action was longer after LAS (60-90 min) than after oxycodone (30-60 min). No significant differences were found between the smaller and larger doses of LAS, suggesting a plateau effect. Further clinical experiments with LAS using i.v. mode of administration and other pain models are warranted.
