Abstract

Efficacy of Naproxen sodium and Ibuprofen have been compared in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhoea on 67 women aged between 13 and 20 casually divided into two groups. No statistically significant difference has been noticed in the remission of symptomatology between the two groups at therapeutic dosage, although Naproxen sodium has a longer plasmatic half-life than Ibuprofen.
