Abstract

Objective:To describe the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and adverse effects of ibuprofen in children.

Methods:A single dose, two-way crossover study was conducted in six pediatric patients aged 3 to 17 years, who were treated for six weeks with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) after an overnight fast, and ibuprofen after a 12-h overnight fast. Ibuprofen was given as a 50-mg tablet at the beginning of the study, followed by a 50-mg tablet every 30 min, every 60 min, and every hour for a further four days, and every 24 hours for a further 24 days. Ibuprofen was administered for a maximum of four weeks. After that, ibuprofen was discontinued at the discretion of the pediatrician.

Results:A total of 6 patients were administered ibuprofen, and three patients discontinued the drug. The mean duration of NSAID treatment was 10.6 days in pediatric patients and 10.3 days in adult patients. The mean maximum ibuprofen dose was 200 mg in pediatric patients and 200 mg in adult patients. The time to first dose ranged from 2 to 10 days in pediatric patients and from 10 to 14 days in adult patients. All patients in pediatric groups received a maximum of four doses per day.

Conclusion:The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ibuprofen were well studied and confirmed by the pharmacodynamic studies. Ibuprofen is a short-acting NSAID that can be administered as a single dose over a period of up to two days. The pharmacokinetic profile of ibuprofen in children is similar to that of adults, but the pharmacokinetic profiles of ibuprofen are similar to those of adult NSAIDs. Ibuprofen is an effective short-acting NSAID, which may be useful in the treatment of patients with chronic pain.

Introduction

In recent years, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) has been recognized for its long-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of acute pain, especially when taken at high doses (up to 200 mg). Ibuprofen is an NSAID primarily used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. Advil has also been used as an anti-inflammatory and antipyretic in the treatment of arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Advil has also been shown to be effective in reducing fever, as well as reducing pain and swelling in adults and children. However, the safety and efficacy of ibuprofen are not well established in pediatric patients, and the safety and efficacy of ibuprofen have not been well established in children. There is a lack of information on ibuprofen pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in children, but data are scarce.
