Multimodal Analgesia Approach in Acute Low Back Pain Management: A Phase III Study of a Novel Analgesic Combination of Etoricoxib/Tramadol.

Introduction: Pain and disability management are crucial for a speedy recovery. Combining analgesics with different mechanisms of action provides greater pain relief with lower doses, promoting efficient multimodal analgesia. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety between two fixed-dose combinations (FDC): etoricoxib/tramadol compared to paracetamol/tramadol for the management of acute low back pain (LBP) in a 7-day treatment.

Comparative Bioavailability of a Novel Fixed-dose Combination Etoricoxib and Tramadol.

Multimodal analgesia is defined as using several drugs or techniques simultaneously to target different pain pathways or receptors to avoid pain propagation. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetic profile and comparative bioavailability of etoricoxib 90 mg and tramadol 50 mg dosing alone (reference drugs) or in a novel fixed-dose combination (test drug) under fasting conditions in Mexican healthy volunteers. This was a randomized, open-label, 3-way, crossover, single-dose, prospective, and longitudinal study with a 14-day washout period.

Pharmacokinetic Profile and Comparative Bioavailability of an Oral Fixed-Dose Combination of Metformin and Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin).

Patients with diabetes face a 2-4-fold greater cardiovascular risk compared to those without diabetes. Both metformin and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) treatment have demonstrated a significant reduction in this risk. This single-center, open-label, sequence randomized, 2 × 2 crossover, single-dose clinical trial evaluated the pharmacokinetics profile and comparative bioavailability of a novel oral fixed-dose combination (FDC) of metformin/acetylsalicylic acid (500/100 mg tablet) versus the reference mono-drugs administered concomitantly, metformin 500 mg tablet and acetylsalicylic acid 100 mg tablet, in 22 healthy Mexican adult volunteers under fasting conditions.

A Randomized Control Trial of Dexketoprofen/Vitamin B (Thiamine, Pyridoxine and Cyanocobalamin) Fixed-Dose Combination in Post-Traumatic Grade I-II Cervical Sprains.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are an important cause of work absence. Clinical practice guidelines recommend nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for grade I-II cervical sprains. The combination of thiamine + pyridoxine + cyanocobalamin vitamins has been used, alone and in combination with NSAIDs, for pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal disorders.
