[Clinical evaluation of the activity of 2 preparations with similar action in bronchopneumopathies in the aged].

The results obtained in a single blind controlled study using a new preparation, guacetisal, and an already available similar product based on dimethylaminophenazone guaiacolglycolate and calcium ethylcamphorate, are reported. The drugs were administered to 28 elderly patients of both sexes suffering from bronchopneumopathies for a period of 7 consecutive days with 2 suppositories/day. The results generally favoured the new product. Tolerance was very good at all levels.
