Dears E-Druggers:
                                                      
As mentioned in an earlier posting lysine-clonixinate (LC)
is marketed in Spain with the name of Dolalgial.
                                                            
In 1994,the National Commission of Indicators of Quality of
prescription of the Spanish Ministry of Health evaluate LC
as drug of not intrinsic value which means efficacy and/or
safety not well established.
                                                                                
The only recently published clinical work about LC is:
Eberhardt R, et al. Analgesic efficacy and tolerability of
lysine-clonixinate versus ibuprofen in patients with
gonarthrosis. Curr Ther Res 1995; 56: 573-80.
                                         
A poor documentation for a broadly prescribed drug.
