pharmachologic effect

Pharmacotherapeutic group: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

ATX code: М02AA13

Pharmacological properties

The drug Nurofen Express in the dosage form of a gel for external use is easy to apply and quickly absorbed into the skin.

Pharmacodynamics: The drug belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

It has a double effect: analgesic and anti-inflammatory.

Ibuprofen, being a propionic acid derivative, indiscriminately blocks cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), as a result of which it inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins - mediators of pain, inflammation and hyperthermic reaction.

When applied to the skin, the gel has an additional cooling effect due to the rapid evaporation of benzyl alcohol contained in the composition.

Pharmacokinetics: After application to the skin, ibuprofen is found in the epidermis and dermis after 24 hours.

The maximum plasma concentration of ibuprofen when applied topically is 5% of the maximum concentration when using oral ibuprofen.

There is practically no clinically significant systemic absorption.

It is metabolized in the liver.

It is excreted by the kidneys (not more than 1% unchanged) and, to a lesser extent, with bile.

Indications

As a topical analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent for conditions such as muscle pain, back pain, arthritis, pain from ligament injuries and sprains, sports injuries and neuralgia.
