A comparison between fenoprofen calcium and naproxen sodium in the treatment of soft tissue sports injuries.

Seventy-seven patients with soft tissue sporting injuries were studied in a double-blind, randomized trial comparing 400 mg fenoprofen calcium 3-times daily against 250 mg naproxen sodium 3-times daily. Assessments carried out on entry and after 7 days of treatment showed that both drugs produced significant improvement in pain at night, swelling/bruising, and pain and mobility. No significant differences in response were noted between the two groups. Both treatments were well tolerated and few drug-related side-effects were reported.
