Abstract
The pain-reducing property of metoclopramide (Primperan) was compared with that of a narcotic combination drug (Spasmofen) in a double-blind study on 40 patients with ureteric colic. The tested drugs had equal pain-reducing capacity and no serious side-effects were noticed. Metoclopramide appears to be an alternative when inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis or narcotics are contraindicated.
