Analgesic effect is due to both peripheral, and a central mechanism (due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central and peripheral nervous system). Inhibits platelet aggregation.
For topical use anti-inflammatory and analgesic action. Reduces morning stiffness, increased the amount of motion in joints.
When oral administered Brufen Retard almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Simultaneous food intake slows the rate of absorption. Metabolised in the liver (90%). T1 / 2 is 2-3 hours.
80% of the dose excreted in urine mainly as metabolites (70%), 10% - unchanged, 20% eliminated through the intestine in the form of metabolites.
Inflammatory, degenerative diseases of joints and spine, articular syndrome in patients with acute gout, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, tendonitis, bursitis, sciatica, traumatic inflammation of soft tissue and musculoskeletal apparatus. Neuralgia, myalgia, pain in infectious and inflammatory diseases of ENT organs, bursitis, algomenorrhea, headache and toothache. Fever in infectious and inflammatory diseases.
Setting individually, depending on etiology of disease, severity of clinical manifestations. When administered rectally or adult single dose of 200-800 mg, the frequency of reception - 3-4; for children - 20-40 mg / kg in divided doses.
Topical applied within 2-3 weeks.
The maximum daily dose for adults when administered oral or rectally or is 2.4 g.
Oral, after a meal. Rheumatoid arthritis - by 0.8 g 3 times a day in osteoarthrosis and ankylosing spondylitis - by 0.4-0.6 g 3-4 times a day, in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis - at 30-40 mg / kg / day in several stages.
When soft tissue injuries, sprains - 1.6-2.4 g / day in divided doses.
At moderate pain syndrome - 1.2 g per day.
Digestive system: frequently - nausea, anorexia, vomiting, epigastric discomfort, diarrhea, possibly the development of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract; rare - bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, long-term use possible liver problems.
Central nervous system and peripheral nervous systems: frequently - headache, dizziness, sleep disturbances, agitation, visual impairment.
Hemopoietic system: long-term use may be anemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis.
Urinary tract: long-term use possible renal dysfunction.
Allergic reactions: often - skin rash, Quincke's edema, rarely - aseptic meningitis, bronchospasm syndrome.
Local reactions: when topical used may be hyperemia of the skin, burning or tingling.
Erosive-ulcerative lesions in the gastrointestinal tract exacerbation, diseases of the optic nerve, "aspirin triad", hemodyscrasia, pronounced renal dysfunction and / or liver, children age (to 6 years), hypersensitivity to Brufen Retard.
