Compared with indomethacin 50 mg, submicron indomethacin 40 mg achieved similar peak plasma concentrations, lower systemic exposure, and a faster time to peak plasma concentration, indicating rapid absorption. The current formulation of low-dose submicron indomethacin has recently demonstrated efficacy in 2 phase 3 studies in patients with acute pain following bunionectomy and represents a new, low-dose treatment option for patients with acute pain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
