[A new anti-inflammatory-analgesic-antipyretic, morniflumate, in the treatment of chronic recurring bronchitis]. / Un nuovo antiflogistico-analgesico-antipiretico, morniflumato nel trattamento della bronchite cronica riacutizzata.

ABSTRACT

To assess the therapeutic effects of morniflumate, a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, a controlled study versus imidazole-2-hydroxybenzoate, both combined with amoxicillin, and antibiotic therapy alone was carried out on 60 patients, aged 18 to 60 with flare-ups of chronic bronchitis. After administering morniflumate, all the clinical parameters assessed (objective auscultation, cough, expectoration, exertional dyspnoea, chest pain, hyperthermia) had improved. The modifications observed in this group were greater and earlier when compared to those of the control groups. No significant variations of laboratory parameters nor any particular side-effects were reported.
