T Lehtonen, and I Kellokumpu, and J Permi, and O Sarsila

The analgesic effects of intravenously administered indomethacin, pethidine and metamizol were compared in a series of 169 patients with ureteric colic. Complete pain relief was obtained in 59% in the indomethacin group, in 52% in the pethidine group and in 44% in the metamizol group. The observed side effects were not serious. On the basis of the study results indomethacin can be recommended as an alternative drug in the treatment of ureteric colic.
