[Prednisolone reduction by benoxaprofen].

The prednisolone sparing effect of benoxaprofen has been examined in only 13 cases of rheumatoid arthritis. The examination was terminated prematurely because of an accumulation of side effects of the skin. The results of these 13 cases are not significant, but the drug seems to show a relatively high mean value of its prednisolone sparing effect but it seems to cause a high proportion of side effects, especially of the skin. This preliminary result should be reported in regard to possibly following studies with simular observations.
