Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
A double-blind comparison in general practice of a combination tablet containing orphenadrine citrate and paracetamol ('Norgesic') with paracetamol alone.
A double-blind trial of a combination tablet containing orphenadrine and paracetamol, 'Norgesic', was carried out to assess the value of this product compared with paracetamol alone. All three symptomatic parameters which were measured: pain, spasm and impaired activity, showed a significantly quicker recovery when the combination product was used. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the combination product against orphenadrine citrate alone.
