Actions of Ketoprofensr 150 in details
Ketoprofensr 150 SR AA Pharma is a NSAID, propionic acid derivative. This medication has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of COX activity - the main enzyme metabolism of arachidonic acid, a precursor of prostaglandins, which play a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammation, pain and fever. A pronounced analgesic effect of Ketoprofensr 150 is due to two mechanisms: peripheral (indirect, via inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis) and central (due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as the influence on the biological activity of other neurotrophic substances that play a key role in the release of neurotransmitters in the spinal pain brain). In addition, this drug has anti-bradykinin activity, stabilizes lysosomal membranes, causes a significant inhibition of neutrophils in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Ketoprofensr 150 pharmacology
Ketoprofensr 150 is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic and antipyretic properties.
The anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties of Ketoprofensr 150 have been demonstrated in classical animal and in vitro test systems. In anti-inflammatory models Ketoprofensr 150 has been shown to have inhibitory effects on prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, to have antibradykinin activity, as well as to have lysosomal membrane-stabilizing action. However, its mode of action, like that of other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, is not fully understood.
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Ketoprofensr 150 is a racemate with only the S enantiomer possessing pharmacological activity. The enantiomers have similar concentration time curves and do not appear to interact with one another.
An analgesic effect-concentration relationship for Ketoprofensr 150 was established in an oral surgery pain study with Ketoprofensr 150 (Ketoprofensr 150). The effect-site rate constant (kwas prolonged from 1.6 hours in normal subjects to approximately 3 hours in patients with mild renal impairment, and to approximately 5 to 9 hours in patients with moderately to severely impaired renal function.
No studies have been conducted in patients with renal impairment taking Oruvail capsules.
Hepatically impaired
For patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, no significant changes in the kinetic disposition of Ketoprofensr 150 (Ketoprofensr 150) capsules were observed relative to age-matched normal subjects: the plasma clearance of drug was 0.07 L/kg/h in 26 hepatically impaired patients. The elimination half-life was comparable to that observed for normal subjects. However, the unbound (biologically active) fraction was approximately doubled, probably due to hypoalbuminemia and high variability which was observed in the pharmacokinetics for cirrhotic patients. Therefore, these patients should be carefully monitored and daily doses of Ketoprofensr 150 kept at the minimum providing the desired therapeutic effect.
No studies have been conducted in patients with hepatic impairment taking Oruvail capsules.
CLINICAL TRIALS
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
The efficacy of Ketoprofensr 150 has been demonstrated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Using standard assessments of therapeutic response, there were no detectable differences in effectiveness or in the incidence of adverse events in crossover comparison of Ketoprofensr 150 (Ketoprofensr 150) and Oruvail (Ketoprofensr 150). In other trials, Ketoprofensr 150 demonstrated effectiveness comparable to aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, piroxicam, diclofenac and indomethacin. In some of these studies there were more dropouts due to gastrointestinal side effects among patients on Ketoprofensr 150 than among patients on other NSAIDs.
In studies with patients with rheumatoid arthritis, Ketoprofensr 150 was administered in combination with gold salts, antimalarials, low-dose methotrexate, d-penicillamine, and/or corticosteroids with results comparable to those seen with control nonsteroidal drugs.
Management of Pain
The effectiveness of Ketoprofensr 150 (Ketoprofensr 150) as a general-purpose analgesic has been studied in standard pain models which have shown the effectiveness of doses of 25 to 150 mg. Doses of 25 mg were superior to placebo. Doses larger than 25 mg generally could not be shown to be significantly more effective, but there was a tendency toward faster onset and greater duration of action with 50 mg, and, in the case of dysmenorrhea, a significantly greater effect overall with 75 mg. Doses greater than 50 to 75 mg did not have increased analgesic effect. Studies in postoperative pain have shown that Ketoprofensr 150 (Ketoprofensr 150) in doses of 25 to 100 mg was comparable to 650 mg of acetaminophen with 60 mg of codeine, or 650 mg of acetaminophen with 10 mg of oxycodone. Ketoprofensr 150 tended to be somewhat slower in onset; peak pain relief was about the same and the duration of the effect tended to be 1 to 2 hours longer, particularly with the higher doses of Ketoprofensr 150.
The use of Oruvail in patients with acute pain is not recommended, since, in comparison to Ketoprofensr 150 (Ketoprofensr 150), Oruvail would be expected to have a delayed analgesic response due to its extended-release characteristics.
