Benorylate and ibuprofen appear to be useful drugs for pain relief in rheumatoid arthritis but benorylate would appear to have a slightly better effect on the pain score and it improved the grip strength more than the moderate doses of ibuprofen. It could be a most useful drug when gastric problems limit the dose of aspirin or of other analgesics.
