Ibuprofen: Pharmacology, Therapeutics and Side Effects

Check copyright status Cite this Title Ibuprofen: Ibuprofen -- therapeutic use. Ibuprofen -- Side effects. Australian Summary Ibuprofen is one of the most successful drugs used worldwide for the treatment of mild to moderate pain and various inflammatory conditions. Over the past 40 years, ibuprofen has been proven to be as safe or even safer and also as effective as the established non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs and the coxibs.

This book reviews the pharmacology, clinical uses and the various adverse effects of Ibuprofen, the disposition and unique modes of action in relation to clinical effects of the drug as well as various formulations.

Ibuprofen caused a significant increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to placebo. Hence the administration of ibuprofen caused a significant decrease in urinary output, inulin clearance, sodium excretion, osmolar clearance, free water clearance and urinary PGE2 clearance.

Many overdose experiences have been reported in medical literature. The symptoms of high dose include seizures, apnea, and hypertension, as well as renal and hepatic dysfunction. It has been observed that caffeine improves antinociceptive efficacy of some non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs NSAIDs in several experimental models, however, these effects have been questioned in humans. Caffeine is able to potentiate the antinociceptive effect of ibuprofen. This effect was greater than the maximum produced by morphine in the experimental conditions. Comparison of the cumulative response scores revealed a trend toward a greater response to ibuprofen-caffeine treatment of headaches.

However, the gemfibrozil-ibuprofen interaction is of limited clinical significance. The competitive binding characteristics of ibuprofen and naproxen with respect to the binding site on bovine serum albumin BSA were studied. Ibuprofen displaced naproxen and vice versa from its high affinity binding site site II and the displaced drug rebound to its low affinity binding site site I on BSA molecule. Anandamide , an endocannabinoid, is degraded by the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase which can be inhibited by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs.

The antinociceptive interaction between anandamide and ibuprofen was synergistic. The combination of anandamide with ibuprofen produced synergistic antinociceptive effects involving both cannabinoid CB 1 and CB 2 receptors. A study by Kaminski et al. Only ibuprofen and piroxicam enhanced the anticonvulsive activity of diphenylhydantoin.

Ibuprofen also decreased the effective dose 50 ED 50 value of valproate for the induction of motor impairment.

The absorption of ibuprofen and oxycodone when given as a combination tablet was affected by the concomitant ingestion of food. Food intake before the administration of a single dose of the combination did not affect ibuprofen absorption but marginally increased the extent, but not the rate, of oxycodone absorption. The formulation exhibited multiple peaks on the plasma concentration-time curve.

Although food did not affect the bioavailability of ibuprofen, there was a statistically significant increase in the mean concentration. Results indicated that while qualitative changes in the plasma concentration versus time curves are primarily influenced by the nature of the formulation and the type of meal, bioavailability is influenced by the absorption characteristics of the drug as well. The Cmax and AUC0-alpha of ibuprofen were significantly increased after a single and multiple doses of Coca-Cola, thereby indicating an increased extent of absorption of ibuprofen.

The daily dosage and frequency of ibuprofen must be reduced when administered with Coca-Cola. The use of OTC products containing aspirin, acetaminophens, ibuprofen, naproxen or ketoprofen may increase the risk of hepato-toxicity and gastrointestinal hemorrhage in individuals who consume three or more alcoholic drinks daily. Ibuprofen may exacerbate severe asthma.

With this perception, ibuprofen was administered for postoperative pain management to a year-old boy with allergic rhinitis and previous severe asthma at a time when well controlled , who then had a severe asthma exacerbation. A closer look at the nonprescription analgesics revealed their potential harm when used by solid-organ transplant recipients. Ibuprofen is suitable for self medication with regards to its relatively wide spectrum of indication, good tolerance and safety. The authors reported no conflict of interest and no funding was received on this work.

Therapeutic Applications A low dose ibuprofen is as effective as aspirin and paracetamol for the indications normally treated with over the counter medications. Rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis RA and OA Ibuprofen is widely used in the management of numerous inflammatory, musculoskeletal and rheumatic disorders, because they are highly effective having minimal toxicities.

Every 6 hrs max. Cystic fibrosis CF High dose ibuprofen therapy has also been shown to be effective in decreasing inflammation, probably by decreasing polymorphonuclear cell influx into the lungs. Dysmenorrhea, fever and headache Non-prescription ibuprofen is useful for managing minor aches and pains, reducing fever and relieving symptoms of dysmenorrhea. Breast cancer Harris et al.

Introduction

Food-Drug Interaction The absorption of ibuprofen and oxycodone when given as a combination tablet was affected by the concomitant ingestion of food. Warnings The use of OTC products containing aspirin, acetaminophens, ibuprofen, naproxen or ketoprofen may increase the risk of hepato-toxicity and gastrointestinal hemorrhage in individuals who consume three or more alcoholic drinks daily.

Conclusion Ibuprofen is suitable for self medication with regards to its relatively wide spectrum of indication, good tolerance and safety.
