1,108 general practitioners included 8,677 adults (2,900 ASA 2,886 ibuprofen 2,888 acetaminophen 3 patients had no code label number). * This was a blinded, multicentre study in general practice of up to 7 days of ASA, acetaminophen (both up to 3 g daily) or ibuprofen (up to 1.2 g daily), administered for common painful conditions, using patient generated data with physician assistance. 2,4ĪSA = acetylsalicylic acid GI = gastrointestinal OTC = over the counter. In the PAIN study, which included over 8,500 patients, total GI events (including dyspepsia) and abdominal pain were less frequent with ibuprofen (200 mg) compared to acetylsalicylic acid (500 mg) or acetaminophen (500 mg) (all p<0.035). When used as directed for acute pain, OTC ibuprofen is well tolerated 2* 2,4*ĪSA = acetylsalicylic acid GI = gastrointestinal.
Statistical analysis tested for equivalence between ibuprofen and acetaminophen, and for difference with ASA. The primary outcome measure was the number of patients with at least one significant adverse event, defined as an event that was serious, severe or moderate, resulted in a second physician consultation, led to cessation of treatment, or was of missing intensity.
