Fenoprofen calcium, prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, has been shown to have nonsteroidal antiinflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties. And it has been used in patients with Rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis and general pain. In order to evaluate the effects and safety of fenoprofen calcium, a comparative, randomized study of fenoprofen calcium, codeine compound and placebo was undertaken in 228 patients with postapartum and postoperative cases of obstertrics and gynecology, Ewha Womans University Hospital.
