More evidence that NSAIDs with or without acetaminophen are more effective in alleviating pain in the postoperative dental surgery pain model. A recent study from JBR Clinical research demonstrated some unanticipated findings:
“This study is important because the relative efficacy of these two commonly used pain medications has not been directly compared in a validated acute pain model, furthermore, this study is timely because options for reducing the use of opioids to control postoperative pain are highly desired and can provide clinicians with important alternatives when recommending appropriate analgesics.”

We would love to see a fixed OTC combination of naproxen with acetaminophen – much akin to Advil Dual Action – for the future!
