[edit] Other possible uses

A study concludes, "TA was found significantly better than placebo in the subjective evaluation of drug efficacy (p<0.001) and in reducing the reported hangover symptoms in general (p < 0.01). In the TA group, significantly lower symptom scores were obtained for headache (p<0.01), and for nausea, vomiting, irritation, tremor, thirst and dryness of mouth (all p < 0.05)."[1]

[edit] Commercial names

Commercial names for tolfenamic acid include Clotam Rapid and Tufnil for use in humans and Tolfedine for veterinary use in cats and dogs. This drug should not be confused with Tolmetin.
