Abstract
In a single-dose, randomized, double-blind study of 100 women, suprofen and dihydrocodeine were compared in the relief of pain after episiotomy. The drugs were equal in terms of analgesic efficacy, duration of analgesia and onset of action. Neither drug demonstrated any serious adverse effects.
