Healthy volunteers, not taking any medication, were surveyed by a questionnaire to obtain data on the occurrence of any symptoms, often ascribed to side effects of drugs. Only 62 subjects out of a total of 236 (26.27%) stated experiencing none of these symptoms during the previous 3 days. The remaining subjects reported some symptoms, with an median number of symptoms experienced per person being 2; the most common being fatigue; headache, inability to concentrate and excessive sleepiness.

Two basic anilides EA-7 and EA-8 were investigated for their antispasmodic activity against a variety of spasmogens on different tissues from different species of animals and comparison was made with lignocaine. EA-8 was found to be the most potent in this respect, followed by EA-7 and lignocaine. The antispasmodic potency does not correspond to their local anaesthetic potency. This suggests a direct depressant effect on tissues.
