Nurofen Express Lady tab.po.400mg No.12
Indications
Symptomatic treatment as an anti-inflammatory and antipyretic agent: inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the joints and spine (including rheumatic and rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis), articular syndrome with exacerbation of gout, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, tendinitis, bursitis, radiculitis , traumatic inflammation of soft tissues and the musculoskeletal system. Neuralgia, myalgia, pain syndrome due to infectious and inflammatory diseases of the ENT organs, adnexitis, algodismenorrhea, headache and toothache. Fever in infectious and inflammatory diseases, childhood infections, post-vaccination reactions in children (in appropriate dosage forms).
pharmachologic effect
NSAIDs, a derivative of phenylpropionic acid. It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects.
The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of the activity of COX, the main enzyme in the metabolism of arachidonic acid, which is a precursor of prostaglandins, which play a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammation, pain and fever. The analgesic effect is due to both peripheral (indirectly, through suppression of prostaglandin synthesis) and central mechanisms (inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central and peripheral nervous system). Suppresses platelet aggregation.
Drug interactions
With simultaneous use, ibuprofen reduces the effect of antihypertensive drugs (ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers), diuretics (furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide).
When used simultaneously with anticoagulants, their effect may be enhanced.
When used simultaneously with GCS, the risk of side effects from the gastrointestinal tract increases.
When used simultaneously, ibuprofen can displace indirect anticoagulants (acenocoumarol), hydantoin derivatives (phenytoin), and oral hypoglycemic drugs, sulfonylurea derivatives, from compounds with blood plasma proteins.
When used simultaneously with amlodipine, a slight decrease in the antihypertensive effect of amlodipine is possible; with acetylsalicylic acid - the concentration of ibuprofen in the blood plasma decreases; with baclofen - a case of increased toxic effects of baclofen has been described.
When used simultaneously with warfarin, an increase in bleeding time is possible; microhematuria and hematomas were also observed; with captopril - the antihypertensive effect of captopril may be reduced; with cholestyramine - a moderate decrease in the absorption of ibuprofen.
When used simultaneously with lithium carbonate, the concentration of lithium in the blood plasma increases.
When used simultaneously with magnesium hydroxide, the initial absorption of ibuprofen increases; with methotrexate - the toxicity of methotrexate increases.
The simultaneous use of NSAIDs and cardiac glycosides can lead to worsening heart failure, a decrease in glomerular filtration rate and an increase in the concentration of cardiac glycosides in the blood plasma.
There is evidence of the likelihood of an increase in the concentration of methotrexate in the blood plasma during the use of NSAIDs.
With simultaneous use of NSAIDs and cyclosporine, the risk of nephrotoxicity increases.
NSAIDs may reduce the effectiveness of mifepristone, so taking NSAIDs should be started no earlier than 8-12 days after stopping mifepristone.
Concomitant use of NSAIDs and tacrolimus may increase the risk of nephrotoxicity.
Concomitant use of NSAIDs and zidovudine may lead to increased hematotoxicity. There is evidence of an increased risk of hemarthrosis and hematomas in HIV-positive patients with hemophilia who received concomitant treatment with zidovudine and ibuprofen.
In patients receiving concomitant treatment with NSAIDs and quinolone antibiotics, the risk of seizures may increase.
In patients receiving concomitant NSAIDs and myelotoxic drugs, hematotoxicity increases.
With the simultaneous use of ibuprofen and cefamandole, cefoperazone, cefotetan, valproic acid, plicamycin, the incidence of hypoprothrombinemia increases.
With the simultaneous use of ibuprofen and drugs that block tubular secretion, there is a decrease in excretion and an increase in plasma concentration of ibuprofen.
With the simultaneous use of ibuprofen and inducers of microsomal oxidation (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants), there is an increase in the production of hydroxylated active metabolites and an increased risk of developing severe intoxications.
Dosage regimen

special instructions
It is recommended to prescribe ibuprofen for the shortest possible course and at the minimum effective dose necessary to eliminate symptoms. If systemic use is necessary for more than 10 days, you should consult your doctor.
During long-term treatment, monitoring of the peripheral blood picture and the functional state of the liver and kidneys is necessary. When symptoms of gastropathy appear, careful monitoring is indicated, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy, a complete blood count (hemoglobin determination), and a stool test for occult blood.
The use of NSAIDs in patients with chickenpox may be associated with an increased risk of developing severe purulent complications of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the skin and subcutaneous fat (for example, necrotizing fasciitis). Therefore, it is recommended to avoid the use of ibuprofen for chickenpox.
Ibuprofen suppresses COX and prostaglandin synthesis, affects ovulation, disrupting female reproductive function (reversible after discontinuation of treatment).

Nurofen Express lady
Nurofen Express Lady (INN - ibuprofen) is an NSAID, a derivative of propionic acid. The mechanism of action is associated with suppression of the production of nociceptive and proinflammatory neurotransmitters prostaglandins. Non-selectively inactivates the enzyme cyclooxygenase types 1 and 2, as a result of which the production of prostaglandins is blocked. Exhibits rapid and accentuated analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. Reversibly inhibits the ability of platelets to form aggregations (stick together). It is quickly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. When taken on an empty stomach, peak concentration in the blood is observed after 30-35 minutes. The presence of food contents in the gastrointestinal tract can increase the time it takes to reach the peak concentration of the active substance in the blood. Subject to metabolic transformations in the liver. The half-life is approximately 2 hours. Elimination from the body occurs mainly through urine and, to a small extent, through bile. Prescribed for cephalgia (including migraine headaches), dentalgia, algomenorrhea, peripheral nerve lesions characterized by attacks of pain in the area of innervation of any nerve, spinal pain, arthralgia, myalgia, pain of rheumatic origin, febrile body temperature with influenza and influenza-like conditions. Intended for short-term use only. Single dose – 1 tablet. Frequency of administration – up to 3 times a day with an interval of at least 4 hours. If, when using the drug for 2-3 days, the clinical picture does not change or an increase in symptoms is noted, pharmacotherapy should be interrupted and medical advice should be sought. Use of the drug for more than 10 days requires consultation with a doctor. The likelihood of unwanted side effects remains minimal when using the drug for 2-3 days at the smallest dose necessary to relieve symptoms. Elderly patients have an increased risk of side effects from NSAID drugs, primarily bleeding into the lumen of the stomach and intestines and perforations.
The likelihood of development and severity of side effects largely depend on the dose taken. Typical side effects of the drug: allergic manifestations (bronchial spasm, rhinitis, shortness of breath), epigastric pain, painful sensation in the epigastric region, chest, oral cavity and pharynx, preceding vomiting, frequent bowel movements with watery stools, increased gas formation, burning sensation in the esophagus, cephalgia, a sensation of painful tickling irritation of the skin, causing the need to scratch the irritated area, urticaria. The drug is not prescribed for individual intolerance to the active or any auxiliary component, ulcerative-erosive lesions of the digestive tract, severe renal and/or liver failure, decompensated myocardial dysfunction, from the 28th week of pregnancy and immediately until the birth of the child. In pediatric practice, the drug is used after the patient reaches 12 years of age. In case of prolonged use of the drug, it is necessary to monitor biochemical parameters of peripheral blood, functional parameters of the liver and kidneys. If signs of drug-induced gastropathy appear, strict medical monitoring of the patient’s condition should be organized, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy, general and biochemical blood tests, and stool testing for occult blood. The use of the drug is not compatible with the consumption of ethanol-containing products. Persons suffering from arterial hypertension should consult a doctor before using the drug, because ibuprofen can provoke the development of edema and increased blood pressure. It is not recommended to take the drug together with acetylsalicylic acid (except when the latter is used in low doses).
Interaction
You should not take Nurofen Lady Express at the same time as the following medications:
- with A spirin , as the risk of side effects increases. Ibuprofen reduces the antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory effect of acetylsalicylic acid;
- with other NSAIDs : the simultaneous use of two or more drugs that belong to the NSAID group should be avoided, as the risk of side effects increases;
- with anticoagulants : their effect is enhanced when taken together with NSAIDs;
- with antihypertensive drugs (ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II antagonists) and diuretics - ibuprofen reduces their effectiveness, in turn, these drugs increase the nephrotoxicity of NSAIDs;
- with antiplatelet agents and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors , as the likelihood of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract increases;
- with corticosteroids , as the risk of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract and the formation of ulcers increases;
- with lithium preparations due to the possibility of increasing the concentration of lithium in the blood ;
- with cardiac glycosides , the simultaneous administration of which with ibuprofen can lead to worsening heart failure and deterioration of other indicators;
- with Methotrexate , the concentration of which may increase while taking NSAIDs;
- with Cyclosporine , tacrolimus due to an increased likelihood of nephrotoxicity;
- with Mifepristone , since NSAIDs reduce the effectiveness of mifepristone;
- with Zidovudine , since concomitant use may increase hematotoxicity ;
- with quinolone antibiotics , since there is a possibility of seizures;
- with myelotoxic drugs due to increased hematotoxicity .
