The effectiveness and safety of flurbiprofen 100 mg b.i.d. vs acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 500 mg b.i.d. were evaluated in a 4-day double-blind study in 30 patients suffering from influenza. The antipyretic effect of flurbiprofen was similar to that of ASA. Upper and lower respiratory symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, articular and muscular pain and asthenia were improved by both drugs. Only one patient on ASA discontinued the treatment.
