Abstract
Fifty male and 50 female patients with abnormal sensation in the throat were treated with mefenamic acid (Pontal) and oxazolam (Serenal) for 2 weeks. The efficacy of the combination therapy was evaluated by analysing the patients' subjective symptoms. Symptoms were relieved in 68% of the patients in one week, 74% in 2 weeks and 61% in 3 weeks (one week after the cessation of the therapy). Side effects were observed in 14 patients, most of whom reported drowsiness. Without newer preparations, those side effects were eliminated.
