Like common NSAIDs, dexibuprofen is an active enantiomer of ibuprofen that suppresses the prostanoid synthesis in the inflammatory cells via inhibition of the COX-2 isoform of the arachidonic acid COX. Attenuating the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes gives the drug three major therapeutic actions. Anti-inflammatory action comes from decreased prostaglandin E2 and prostacyclin leading to decreased vasodilation and oedema that enhances vascular permeability and activity of inflammatory mediators. Decreased prostaglandin levels in the hypothalamus confers the antipyretic effect of the drug. Analgesic effect stems from decreased prostaglandin levels that sensitize the nociceptors to inflammatory mediators at sites of pain and enhance transmission from afferent pain fibers at the spinal cord
The recommended dosage of dexibuprofen is 600 to 900 mg/day, at 2-3 divided doses. Maximum single dose is 400 mg. The dosage can be raised temporarily up to 1200 mg/day in patients with acute disorders or exacerbations.
The reported drug interactions of Dexibuprofen are similar to that of racemic mixture of ibuprofen. Drug interactions is noticed with simultaneous use of anticoagulant, hydantoine and sulfonamide, ticlopidine, lithium, other NSAID's, ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, corticosteroids, digoxin, methotrexate, pentoxyfiline, phenytoine, probenecid, sulfinpyrazon, sulfonylurea, thiazide and thiazide type diuretics, and zidovudine.
Dexibuprofen is contraindicated in patients with previous history of hypersensitivity to Dexibuprofen, or another NSAID, or any other component of the product. Patients, who experience attack of asthma, arouse bronchospasm, acute rhinitis, urticaria or edema after use of similar drugs (e.g. aspirin or other NSAID's). It is also contraindicated in patients with active or suspected hemorrhage, Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, patients with serious heart diseases, kidney function impairment (GFR <30ml/min), and liver function impairment.
Clinical experience has shown that adverse effects of Dexibuprofen are similar to those of racemic ibuprofen. Common side-effects are dyspepsia, diarrhea, fatigue, and headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, hypersensitivity reactions - bleeding, ulcer.
Pregnancy: no clinical data on exposed pregnancies are available.Lactation: Ibuprofen is slightly excreted in human milk. Breast-feeding is possible with dexibuprofen if dosage is low and the treatment period is short.
Dexibuprofen should be used with particular caution in patients with bronchial asthma or other chronic diseases of the pulmonary tract as well as in persons prone to allergy. The drug should be used in patients with hepatic, renal or cardiac insufficiency and with hypertension not responding to any treatment. Consultation with a doctor is recommended for patients with systemic lupus or with other autoimmunological disease before beginning therapy using the drug. Dexibuprofen should be used with extreme cautions in active and suspected hemorrhagic conditions such as gastro-duodenal ulcers, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, alcoholism. Allergic reactions to the drug may appear even for the first-time user and in such case, it should immediately be stopped.
Dexibuprofen has low acute toxicities. Symptoms of toxicity occur at doses between 80 and 100 mg/kg body weight. Mild symptoms are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, headache, tinnitus and ataxia. Moderate to serious symptoms, such as flatulence, hypotension, hypothermia, metabolic acidosis, reduced kidney function, coma, and apnoea. The treatment must be symptomatic: there is no specific antidote. In case of large quantities of Dexibuprofen, activated charcoal should be administered. Vomiting can be induced only when life-threatening quantities of the substance ingested and the procedure can be carried out within 60 minutes after ingestion. Dialysis and hemodialysis are of little value as Dexibuprofen binds strongly to plasma protein.
Do not store above 30°C. Keep away from light and out of the reach of children
Drugs for Osteoarthritis, Drugs used for Rheumatoid Arthritis, Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
Dexibuprofen (S (+)-ibuprofen) is considered as the pharmacologically active enantiomer of racemic ibuprofen. Like racemic ibuprofen, Dexibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic action. Like ibuprofen, Dexibuprofen acts by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.Pharmacokinetics: Dexibuprofen is absorbed primarily from the small intestine. After metabolic transformation in the liver (hydroxylation, carboxylation) the pharmacologically inactive metabolites are completely excreted, mainly by the kidneys (90%), but also in the bile. The elimination half-life is 1.8-3.5 hours; the plasma protein binding is about 99%. Maximum plasma levels are reached about 2 hours after oral administration. The administration of dexibuprofen with a meal delays the time to reach maximum concentrations (from 2.1 hours after fasting conditions to 2.8 hours after non-fasting conditions) and decreases the maximum plasma concentrations (from 20.6 to 18.1 mcg/ml, which is of no clinical relevance), but has no effect on the extent of absorption.
Pregnancy: Although no teratogennic impact has been observed in the animal-experimental research with dexibuprofen or ibuprofen, the use should be avoided during the pregnancy. However, animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response. Because of the known effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the fetal cardiovascular system (closure of ductus arteriosus), use during late pregnancy should be avoided.Lactation: Studies at people have shown that racimic ibuprofen proceed in small to negligible degree in mother milk. So, Dexibuprofen should be used with cautions in nursing mothers.
