PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION: A 3.1 Antirheumatics (Anti-inflammatory agents). PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION: Ibuprofen is a phenylpropionic acid derivative. It has useful anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities. Its anti-inflammatory effects in rheumatoid arthritis are inferior to those of full doses of aspirin.

Ibuprofen is absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract and peak concentrations in the circulation occur about 1½ hours after ingestion. Ibuprofen is extensively bound to plasma proteins and has a half-life of about 2 hours. It is rapidly excreted in the urine; about 60% of a dose is recovered in the urine as metabolites and their conjugates. It is believed that some Ibuprofen may be excreted in the faeces possibly after excretion in the bile.
