Abstract
The authors report the results of an open clinical study of 60 outpatients of whom 20 were suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and 40 from osteoarthritis. The study was aimed at evaluating the efficacy and tolerability of the new indole derivative acemetacin and at a comparison with etodolac. The drug studied was found to be effective and to be tolerated better than indomethacin, particularly the absence of the most unpleasant side-effect of indole compounds, i.e., headache, was noted.
