Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Ibuprofen-Akrikhin is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) that has antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
The antipyretic effect of ibuprofen is associated with blocking COX-1 and -2 (cyclooxygenase-1 and -2) in the arachidonic acid cascade of the central nervous system. This helps to reduce the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and their concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid, as well as to reduce the excitation of the center of thermoregulation. In case of fever, the effect of lowering body temperature begins to appear 30 minutes after taking Ibuprofen-Akrikhin, its maximum effect develops within three hours.
The leading mechanism of the analgesic effect is a decrease in the production of biogenic amines, prostaglandins of classes E, F and I. This prevents the development of hyperalgesia at the level of changes in the sensitivity of nociceptors. The analgesic effect is most pronounced in patients with inflammatory pains.
The development of anti-inflammatory action is associated with inhibition of COX activity and a decrease in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins in the foci of inflammation, which leads to a decrease in the secretion of inflammatory mediators, a decrease in the activity of the exudative and proliferative phases of the inflammatory process.
Ibuprofen, like other NSAIDs, exhibits antiplatelet activity.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, more than 80% of ibuprofen is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. C max (maximum concentration) in blood plasma is achieved in 45 minutes or 1.5-2.5 hours when taken on an empty stomach or after meals, respectively. The concentration of the substance in the synovial fluid is higher than the plasma concentration, the time to reach C max is from 2 to 3 hours. Due to the absorption of about 60% of the pharmacologically inactive R-form of the substance, it is gradually transformed into the active S-form.
When administered rectally, ibuprofen is well absorbed from the lumen of the rectum, after which it quickly enters the systemic circulation.
Ibuprofen binds to plasma proteins (mainly albumin) at a level of 90%.
It does not accumulate in the body.
Biotransformation of ibuprofen occurs mainly in the liver. The substance undergoes first-pass and post-system metabolism.
Ibuprofen has a biphasic elimination kinetics with a T 1/2 (half-life) of 2 to 2.5 hours. Most of the substance (60–90%) is excreted by the kidneys as metabolites and products of their conjugation with glucuronic acid, to a lesser extent, no more than 1%, is excreted unchanged and with bile. After taking a single dose, ibuprofen is excreted in full within 24 hours.

Prolonged / frequent seizures are treated with intravenous diazepam or lorazepam. When the course of bronchial asthma worsens, bronchodilators are prescribed.
special instructions
Ibuprofen in patients with bronchial asthma or other diseases that occur with bronchospasm may increase the risk of bronchospasm. When prescribing Ibuprofen-Akrikhin, such patients need to be very careful, in case of difficulty breathing, you should immediately consult a doctor.
During long-term therapy, the peripheral blood picture and the functional state of the kidneys and liver should be monitored.
In order to prevent the appearance of NSAID gastropathy, it is recommended to combine Ibuprofen-Akrikhin with prostaglandin E preparations (misoprostol). If symptoms of the disease occur, careful monitoring of the condition is shown, including carrying out esophagogastroduodenoscopy, analysis of feces for occult blood, blood test with determination of hematocrit, hemoglobin.
If it is necessary to determine the 17-ketosteroids, Ibuprofen-Akrikhin must be canceled 48 hours before the study.
During the period of therapy, the use of alcoholic beverages and the intake of drugs containing ethanol are not recommended.
1 ml of Ibuprofen-Akrikhin suspension contains about 0.34 g of sucrose, which corresponds to about 0.03 XE (bread units).
Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms
If necessary, drive vehicles during the period of therapy should take into account the possibility of developing significant disorders of the nervous system and sensory organs, such as lethargy, drowsiness or visual impairment.
