    AbstractA 2-day study to assess the safety and efficacy of a combination analgesic, Stopayne (Rio Ethicals), was conducted in 23 postoperative plastic surgery patients with pain of moderate to severe intensity. Statistically significant pain relief was attained, with 2 (9%) patients reporting complete relief 1 hour after taking the tablets and 19 (82%) reporting satisfactory relief (P less than 0.01). One patient recorded the pain relief as slight and another reported no relief. The average time taken for analgesia to occur was 37.7 min and it lasted an average of 3.8 h. On being woken by pain 18 (78%) patients reported that they were able to sleep again after taking the study drug; 19 patients reported that the tablets helped them to fall asleep.
