Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Male and female patients above 18 years up to 60 years 2. Both male and female (of childbearing potential) patients willing to use appropriate method of contraception as per investigatorâ??s discretion throughout the study. Female of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and be non-lactating at baseline 3. The patient has read the ICF, has understood the relevant aspects of the clinical study, and grants his/her authorization to participate by signing the ICF before the inclusion in the clinical study and the performance of any procedure 4. Moderate or severe pain (score of at least 50 mm on 100 mm VAS within 4 hours post-surgery or at the time of visit to the investigator) at baseline undergoing dental procedures requiring either of the two study medications or patients with back pain, neck pain or degenerative pain. 5. Patients with acute/acute-on-chronic pain, including post-operative, joint, or acute traumatic pain. 6. Patient is in good health, i.e., the medical record, vital signs, physical examination, and laboratory parameter assessments do not show any abnormal deviations impeding the participation in the clinical study at screening and baseline visit 7. Patient must be able to swallow the study drug 8. Patientwilling to fill patient diaries and comply with the study procedure and requirements. A patient/caregiver who is able to read, understand, and willing to sign and date written ICF 9. Patient who has shown suboptimal response to NSAIDs and other systemic therapies.
