Headache, as a syndrome, represents large health and wider socio-economic problem in every community for its massive occurrence and frequent absence of therapeutic response to the administered analgesics. That is why the finding, and later production of the drug that would satisfy the criteria of analgesic, efficacious in the treatment of headache, without the entering in etiology of syndrome are presented as the imperative. In connection with that was set the aim of the investigation: to investigate comparative analgesic efficacity of new preparation--Dikalm compared to analgesic that was for a long time present in our pharmaceutic market--Saridon tablets in the patients with different neurologic diseases, where headache represents the leading symptom of their difficulties. The investigation included 30 patients--10 patients were cross-examined with the use of both preparations in the treatment of headache episodes that appeared in separate time interval, and 20 patients received one another preparation. The headache intensity, residual headache, adverse effects and the need for repeating were graded by original standardized scales. The results of investigation revealed significantly better analgesic effect of therapeutic combination contained in Dikalm preparation, as for persistent, residual headache, as for the need of repeating the analgesics administration, what was specially pronounced in the group that cross-received both preparations, or in the whole group compared to the therapeutic combination contained in Saridon tablets. It was concluded that Dikalm represented the drug with efficacious analgesic and with minimal adverse effects.
