AimTo compare efficacy and safety of strepfen (flurbiprofen) to those of oral paracetamol in acute infections of the upper respiratory tracts for relief of throat pain (TP).Material And MethodsOf 60 patients 30 ones took strepfen, 30 controls took paracetamol. The intensity and dynamics of throat pain and pharyngeal discomfort were assessed by 10-point subjective visual-analog scale.ResultsStrepfen is similar by an analgetic effect to paracetamol. Strepfen acts rapidly (in 5-15 min) and its analgetic effect lasts about 3 hours. Paracetamol begins to relieve pain 30-45 min after its intake. The drug is well tolerated, serious side effects are absent.ConclusionStrepfen can be recommended for relief of throat pains and pharyngeal paresthesia in patients with acute and chronic pharyngeal pathology.
