Pharmacological action
NSAIDs, a derivative of phenylpropionic acid, Ibufein has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effect.
The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of COX activity - the main enzyme metabolism of arachidonic acid, which is a precursor of prostaglandins, which play a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammation, pain and fever. Analgesic effect is due to both peripheral (indirectly, through suppression of prostaglandin synthesis), and a central mechanism (due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central and peripheral nervous system). Inhibits platelet aggregation.
For topical use anti-inflammatory and analgesic action. Reduces morning stiffness, increased the amount of motion in joints.
