[Proglumetacin: analgesic anti-inflammatory treatment for orthopedic and traumatologic pathology]

Twenty-three patients with orthopedic and traumatic disorders, mostly hospitalized, were treated with proglumetacin, 450 mg/day, during 5-45 days. Proglumetacin resulted to be a good analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. Tolerance was good or excellent in all patients but one. Proglumetacin appears to be drug particularly suitable for the treatment of orthopedic and traumatic disorders, also in the postoperative course.
