Night medication in rheumatoid arthritis: II. Combined therapy with indomethacin and diazepam.

Seventeen of eighteen patients hospitalized for active rheumatoid arthritis completed a three-day randomized, double-blind comparison of 100 mg indomethacin, 100 mg indomethacin with 10 mg diazepam and matching placebo as night medication. The results showed a consistent pattern in the four functions measured--pain, morning stiffness, sleep score and patient preference. In each, indomethacin proved superior to placebo and the combined therapy better than indomethacin alone. From this it has been concluded that the combination of indomethacin and diazepam should now be considered the treatment of choice for maximum control of night pain and morning stiffness in rheumatoid arthritis.

Some studies of feprazone.

Feprazone, 200 mg t.d.s., was compared with indomethacin, 25 mg t.d.s. rising to 50 mg t.d.s., in an eight-week double-blind cross-over study in twenty-three patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. Both therapies proved equally efficacious and acceptable. Measurement of the plasma levels of the two drugs showed no consistent correlation between efficacy and plasma concentrations.

The effects of antacids on enteric-coated salicylate preparations.

A volunteer study was undertaken in which the effect of the co-administration of therapeutic doses of aluminium hydroxide and magnesium trisilicate on the excretion of aspirin derived from enteric-coated preparations was studied. A significant alteration in the pattern of salicylate excretion was seen, but the mechanism of the interaction cannot be deduced from the present study. It was concluded that the interaction was of potential therapeutic importance, and further studies based on this pilot investigation have been initiated.

Night medication in rheumatoid arthritis.

The efficacy of indomethacin 100 mg, diazepam 10 mg, and placebo in producing sleep, relieving night pain, and reducing the severity of morning stiffness, was compared in 18 patients in hospital with active classical or definite rheumatoid arthritis.There was no statistically significant difference in the preference of patients or sleep score among the three forms of treatment. Both indomethacin and diazepam were more effective than placebo in relieving night pain. Indomethacin decreased, but diazepam increased, morning stiffness in comparison to placebo. Neither active therapy produced significant side-effects.
