Abstract
This study was conducted to compare the analgesic efficacy of four commonly used analgesics namely ibuprofen, analgin, paracetamol and aspirin in post-episiotomy pain. The subjects were healthy postpartum women on the obstetric service of Goa Medical College, each of whom received only one experimental medication. Subjective reports were used as indices of pain intensity or relief. Ibuprofen was found to be the most effective analgesic in post-episiotomy pain followed by analgin and paracetamol in that order. Surprisingly, aspirin was found to be no better than placebo.
