Dose response to fenoprofen in an antipyretic study of fenoprofen and propoxyphene. 1977

C M Gruber, and T Collins

Single oral doses of 0, 50, 100, and 200 mg (acid equivalents) of fenoprofen calcium provide essentially linear increases in antipyretic activity over a six-hour period in patients with fever due to acute upper respiratory tract infection. During this same time interval, 200 and 400 mg doses apparently had equal efficacy. Single oral doses of 200 and 400 mg propoxyphene napsylate had no significant effect on the fever of patients with acute respiratory tract infections. No significant interaction between propoxyphene and fenoprofen, related to the antipyretic effect of fenoprofen, was demonstrated.

D010666	Phenylpropionates	Derivatives of 3-phenylpropionic acid, including its salts and esters.
D010919	Placebos	Any dummy medication or treatment. Although placebos originally were medicinal preparations having no specific pharmacological activity against a targeted condition, the concept has been extended to include treatments or procedures, especially those administered to control groups in clinical trials in order to provide baseline measurements for the experimental protocol.
