Analgesic efficacy of liquid ketoprofen compared to liquid dipyrone and placebo administered orally as drops in postepisiotomy pain.

Ketoprofen 25 mg or 50 mg, and dipyrone 500 mg seem to be equally suited for use as pain relief medication after minor surgery, as well as episiotomy. This study did not demonstrate a need for more than 25 mg of ketoprofen in postepisiotomy pain. All treatments were well tolerated. No adverse events were reported.
