NSAID's are largely used drugs. Among the reported side effects of this type of drugs is liver damage. 73 patients suffering from diverse rheumatological pathologies (arthrosis 46.6%, rotators 9.68%, rheumatoid arthritis 21.92%, lumbalgia 5.48%, other diagnosis 6.85%) were evaluated. Aceclofenac (AC) 100 mg. dose every 12 hours was administered. A Transaminase value determination was taken both at the beginning and end of medication for each patient. Average age of patients was 52.71 years, 78% being female. Treatment was administered as follows, 42.47% of the patients received a 60 days treatment, 28.8% a 45 days treatment, 23.3% a 30 days treatment and 5.47% received a 15 days treatment. Reported mean GOT value at the beginning was 16.6 U, at the end 17.01 U. GPT initial value was 15.84 U and final 16.53 U. A GOT increase, 20 U to 50 was observed in a single patient. GPT was also increased from 32 U to 47 U in one case. Results led us to a no liver damage report of the NSAID's AC in these group of patients.
