diclofenac lumiracoxib ...Study Participants
28The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of lumiracoxib in this particular population is associated with a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) compared to diclofenac; and to compare the magnitude of such impairment, if any, associated with use of lumiracoxib and diclofenac.
Patients in this group will receive a standard fixed dose of lumiracoxib PO (200 mg/day), for a period no longer than 10 days, but no shorter than 7 days.
Patients in this group will receive a standard fixed dose of diclofenac PO (100 mg/day) for a period no longer than 10 days but no shorter than 7 days.
Patients in this group will receive a standard fixed dose of lumiracoxib PO (200 mg/day) for a period of maximum 10 days, but no shorter than 7 days.
Patients in this group will receive a standard fixed dose of diclofenac PO (100 mg/day) for a period no longer than 10 days but no shorter than 7 days.
