Abstract

Summary In a double‐blind between‐patient study the analgesic efficacy of pentazocine and pethidine was compared in urological practice. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 drug groups although the duration of action of pentazocine seemed to be slightly shorter than that of pethidine. Side‐effects were infrequent with either drug anld it was concluded that pentazocine is a suitable alternative to pethidine in urological practice.
