TY - JOUR T1 - Seatone in rheumatoid arthritis: a six-month placebo-controlled study. JF - Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases JO - Ann Rheum Dis SP - 199 LP - 201 DO - 10.1136/ard.44.3.199 VL - 44 IS - 3 AU - J G Larkin AU - H A Capell AU - R D Sturrock Y1 - 1985/03/01 UR - http://ard.bmj.com/content/44/3/199.abstract N2 - Thirty-five patients with rheumatoid arthritis were randomly allocated to either Seatone (green-lipped mussel extract) or placebo in order to assess the former's claimed effectiveness in rheumatoid disease. After six months there was no significant improvement in any laboratory or clinical measurement of disease activity in the Seatone group. The patients on active drug fared no better than those on placebo. These results suggest that Seatone is not effective in rheumatoid arthritis. ER -
