Ibuprofen versus other non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs: use in general practice and patient perception

Abstract: Ibuprofen is as highly regarded as other NSAIDs when used in similar circumstances. Switching patients to ibuprofen may be a realistic way of reducing financial and medical costs associated with NSAIDs.

“…The scoring percentages, of the periapical inflammatory infiltrate by the scoring system that are listed in table 4, denote that, after 1 month of treatment, groups containing IBU (GP2, GP4, and GP5) showed significantly favorable inflammation responses compared to that for the positive control groups (p > 0.05). Such results reveal the role of the anti-inflammatory drug in treating inflammation in the peripheral lesions as IBU is known to reduce inflammation by inhibiting various enzymes and preventing the formation of some types of prostaglandins [41]. After 3 months, GP3, GP4, and Table 3.…”

“…While DCF is better tolerated than nonselective NSAIDs such as indomethacin, it is still associated with a variety of toxic small intestinal side effects. 30,31 A typical therapeutic dose of DCF (50 mg orally) translates into local concentrations between 300 and 1600 μM of DCF within the intestinal lumen (assuming an intestinal fluid volume of between 0.1 and 0.5 L). 32 Therefore, we employed a range of DCF between 500 and 1000 μM to recapitulate an intraluminal physiologically relevant concentration.…”

“…Diclofenac (2-(2,6-dichloroanilino) phenylacetic acid; DCF) has an approximately 10-fold higher preference for the COX-2 isoenzyme versus COX-1 and is primarily ingested orally, although it may also be administered via topical, intravenous, intramuscular, and intrarectal routes.

“…Questionnaire-based study conducted in UK general medical practices which compared prescribed NSAIDs and described by patients reported mean (s.d.) compliance (percentage of intended dose taken) of 0.73 (0.55) for ibuprofen, 0.76 (0.56) for diclofenac and 0.76 (0.55) for Naproxen ( Hawkey et al , 2000 ). It is unlikely, however, that non-adherence would differ systematically between cases and controls in our study.…”
