Consistent with this classification, ibuprofen exhibits anti-inflammatory activity at higher dosage ranges. At lower adult single doses relevant to a nonprescription dosage strength (200 mg to 400 mg) ibuprofen relieves pain of mild to moderate intensity and reduces fever. Analogous to ASA, the prototype of this class, this analgesic/antipyretic activity of ibuprofen occurs at lower doses than necessary for anti-inflammatory effects which are thought to require sustained administration of higher individual doses. Ibuprofen is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with peak serum or plasma levels generally appearing within 1½ to 2 hours. Oral absorption is estimated to be 80% of the dose. Both the rate of absorption and peak plasma concentrations are reduced when the drug is taken with food, but, bioavailability as measured by total area under the concentration-time curve is minimally altered. Ibuprofen has an elimination half-life of approximately 2 hours. It is rapidly metabolized through oxidation and glucuronic acid conjugation with urinary excretion of the inactive metaboIites usually complete within 24 hours. Less than 10% is excreted unchanged in the urine. Clinical studies indicate a duration of clinical effect for up to 8 hours for fever and 6+ hours for pain. 2 Studies demonstrate no significant alterations in ibuprofen pharmacokinetics in the elderly. Ibuprofen pharmacokinetics has also been studied in patients with alcoholic liver disease who have been assessed to have fair to po Izlasiet visu dokumentu
