Study Summary

This study is being conducted to determine the overall analgesic efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose ibuprofen 250 mg / acetaminophen 500 mg formulation compared to placebo in subjects who are experiencing post operative pain following surgical extraction of 3 or more third molar teeth. A review of any reported adverse events will also be completed.

Primary Outcome

Pain intensity was assessed on an 11-point numerical pain severity rating scale. SPID11 \[0-24\]: Time-weighted sum of Pain Intensity Difference (PID) scores over 24 hours. SPID11 score range was -120 (worst score) to 240 (best score) for SPID 0-24. PID was calculated by subtracting the pain intensity score at given post-dose time points (pain severity score range: 0 =no pain to 10 =worst possible pain) from the baseline pain intensity scores (score range: 5 =moderate pain to 10 =worst possible
