Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Ketoprofen has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic effects. Inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins, inhibiting COX (cyclooxygenase) I and II types. Shows anti-bradykinin activity, stabilizes lysosomal membranes and delays the release of enzymes from them, which, in chronic inflammation, contribute to tissue destruction. Inhibits the activity of neutrophils, reduces the release of cytokines.

Thanks to the use of ketoprofen, morning stiffness and swelling of the joints decreases, and the range of motion increases. Unlike ketoprofen, ketoprofen lysine salt is a rapidly dissolving molecule with neutral pH and almost no irritant effect on the gastrointestinal tract.

When using an aerosol or gel Artrozilen provides a local therapeutic effect in relation to the affected ligaments, muscles, joints, tendons. Ketoprofen has no catabolic effect on articular cartilage.

Pharmacokinetics

Capsules, rectal suppositories, injection solution

Suction:

• capsules: after oral administration, ketoprofen is almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, its bioavailability is more than 80%. With _max (maximum concentration of the substance) in plasma is achieved in 4-10 hours, its value is dose-dependent and is 3-9 μg / ml. T _1/2 (half-life) - 6.5 hours. The maximum therapeutic effect is observed within 4-24 hours. Food decreases C _max and lengthens the time to reach it, while the AUC (area under the concentration-time curve) does not change;
• rectal suppositories: ketoprofen is rapidly absorbed after rectal administration. Time to reach C _max is 45 to 60 minutes. The value of the plasma concentration is linearly dependent on the dose taken.
• injection solution: for parenteral administration, the time to reach C _max is 20-30 minutes. Effective concentration is maintained for 24 hours. In the synovial fluid, the therapeutic concentration lasts from 18 to 20 hours;

Up to 99% of absorbed ketoprofen binds to plasma proteins, mainly albumin. V _d (volume of distribution) ranges from 0.1 to 0.2 l / kg. It easily penetrates through histohematogenous barriers, is distributed in organs and tissues. The substance penetrates well into connective tissues and synovial fluid. Although the concentration of ketoprofen in the synovial fluid is slightly lower than the plasma concentration, it is more stable (lasts up to 30 hours).

Metabolism of ketoprofen occurs mainly in the liver, where the substance undergoes glucuronidation, followed by the formation of esters with glucuronic acid.

Excretion of metabolites is carried out in the urine. Up to 1% is excreted with feces. Does not cumulate.

Gel, aerosol for external use

When applied externally, ketoprofen is absorbed slowly.

A dose of 50-150 mg of the gel after 5-8 hours creates a plasma level of 0.08-0.15 μg / ml. Bioavailability of the gel is approximately 5%.

The level of ketoprofen in the blood after aerosol application is less than 0.1 μg / ml, the amount of the substance (free or conjugated) excreted in the next 48 hours by the kidneys is equivalent to 0.62% of the dose of the drug. The level of ketoprofen in synovial fluid is equivalent to 0.2–2 μg / ml (depending on the applied dose).

• urinary system: painful urination, edema, cystitis, hematuria;
• cardiovascular system: syncope, hypertension, tachycardia, hypotension, chest pain, pallor, peripheral edema;
• hematopoietic system: thrombocytopenia, leukocytopenia, lymphangitis, thrombocytopenic purpura, leukocytosis, decreased prothrombin time, vasculitis, enlarged spleen;

In comparison with ketoprofen, the lysine salt of ketoprofen causes side reactions much less frequently.

Overdose

Cases of an overdose of Artrozilene with systemic use have not been reported. When applied externally, an overdose is almost impossible, due to the extremely low systemic absorption of ketoprofen.

Therapy: monitoring of cardiac and respiratory activity. If necessary, symptomatic treatment is carried out. There is no specific antidote. Hemodialysis is ineffective.

special instructions

During the period of therapy, periodic monitoring of the peripheral blood picture and the functional state of the kidneys / liver is required.

If necessary, the determination of 17-ketosteroids Artrosilene is canceled 2 days before the study.

Therapy can mask the symptoms of an infectious disease.

In bronchial asthma, the use of Artrosilene can lead to the development of an attack of suffocation.

The drug can be applied externally only to intact skin areas. Avoid getting Artrosilene in the eyes and mucous membranes.

Aqueous solutions of the ketoprofen lysine salt, as well as an external gel, can be used in physiotherapeutic therapy (mesotherapy, iontophoresis): during iontophoresis, the drug is applied to the negative pole.

In order to prevent the manifestations of photo- and hypersensitivity, it is recommended to avoid exposure to the sun's rays during the treatment course.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms
