Pharmacological action

Flurbiprofen is a derivative of propionic acid group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and possesses significant analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect by suppressing cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), with some selectivity towards COX-1, resulting in reduced production of prostaglandins – mediators of pain, inflammation and hyperthermic reactions.

The drug has a local analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect on the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat: it reduces swelling, difficulty swallowing, pain and irritation in the throat.

The tablet is completely dissolved in the oral cavity within 5-12 minutes. The calming effect starts from the 2nd minute.

A significant reduction in the intensity of sore throat begins at 22 minutes with a maximum effect reaching 70 minutes and lasts up to 4 hours.

Pharmacokinetics

The tablet is completely dissolved in the oral cavity within 5-12 minutes. Absorption is high, flurbiprofen is rapidly and almost completely absorbed, distributed throughout the body and largely binds to plasma proteins. Flurbiprofen is detected in the blood after 5 minutes, the maximum concentration of flurbiprofen in blood plasma (Cmax) is reached 40-45 minutes after resorption.

Flurbiprofen can be absorbed in the oral cavity by passive diffusion. The rate of absorption depends on the dosage form; with resorption, the maximum concentration of flurbiprofen is reached faster than with an oral equivalent dose of flurbiprofen.

The elimination half-life (T 1/2) is 3-6 hours. It is metabolized in the liver by hydroxylation and is excreted by the kidneys and, to a lesser extent, with bile. Flurbiprofen is excreted in breast milk in small amounts ( Approximately 20-25% of the oral dose of flurbiprofen is excreted unchanged.

Indications

As a symptomatic remedy for the relief of sore throat in infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and pharynx.

Interaction

Concomitant use of flurbiprofen with the following medications should be avoided:

• Acetylsalicylic acid: with the exception of low doses of acetylsalicylic acid (no more than 75 mg per day) prescribed by a doctor, since co-use may increase the risk of side effects.
• Other NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors: concomitant use of two or more NSAID drugs should be avoided due to the possible increased risk of side effects.

Use with caution at the same time as the following medications: :

• Anticoagulants: NSAIDs may increase the effect of anticoagulants, particularly warfarin.
• Antiplatelet agents and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
• Antihypertensive agents (ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II antagonists) and diuretics: NSAIDs may reduce the effectiveness of drugs in these groups and may increase nephrotoxicity due to cyclooxygenase inhibition, especially in patients with impaired renal function (adequate fluid compensation should be provided in such patients).
• Alcohol: there may be an increased risk of adverse reactions, especially bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
• Cardiac glycosides: concomitant use of NSAIDs and cardiac glycosides may worsen heart failure, reduce glomerular filtration rate, and increase the concentration of cardiac glycosides in blood plasma.
• Cyclosporine: increased risk of nephrotoxicity with concomitant use of NSAIDs and cyclosporine.
• Glucocorticosteroids: increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding.
• Lithium preparations: there is evidence of the likelihood of an increase in the concentration of lithium in blood plasma with the use of NSAIDs.
• Methotrexate: There is evidence for the likelihood of an increase in the concentration of methotrexate in blood plasma against the background of NSAID use. NSAIDs should be taken 24 hours before or after taking methotrexate.
• Mifepristone: NSAIDs should be started no earlier than 8-12 days after the end of mifepristone use, as NSAIDs may reduce the effectiveness of mifepristone.
• Quinolone-type antibiotics: patients receiving concomitant treatment with NSAIDs and quinolone antibiotics may have an increased risk of seizures.
• Tacrolimus: concomitant use of NSAIDs and tacrolimus may increase the risk of nephrotoxicity.
• Zidovudine: concomitant use of NSAIDs and zidovudine may lead to increased hematotoxicity.
• Oral hypoglycemic medications: blood glucose levels may change (it is recommended to increase the frequency of blood glucose monitoring).
• Phenytoin: it is possible to increase the serum level of phenytoin (it is recommended to monitor the serum level of phenytoin and, if necessary, adjust the dose).
• Potassium-sparing diuretics: concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics and flurbiprofen may lead to hyperkalemia.
• Probenecid and sulfinpyrazone: Medications containing probenecid or sulfinpyrazone may delay the elimination of flurbiprofen.
• Tolbutamide and antacids: To date, studies have found no interactions between flurbiprofen and tolbutamide or antacids.

How to take, course of use and dosage

Please read the instructions carefully before using the product.

For topical application. Only for short-term use.

Adults and children over 12 years of age: slowly dissolve 1 tablet every 3-6 hours.

Maximum daily dose: 5 tablets within 24 hours.

Duration of therapy: no more than 3 days.

If symptoms persist or worsen after taking the drug for 3 days, you should stop treatment and consult a doctor.

Overdose

Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain or, more rarely, diarrhea, tinnitus, headache, and gastrointestinal bleeding. In more severe cases, there are manifestations of the central nervous system: drowsiness, rarely-agitation, convulsions, disorientation, coma.

In cases of severe poisoning, metabolic acidosis and increased prothrombin time, acute renal failure, liver tissue damage, decreased blood pressure, respiratory depression and cyanosis can develop. Patients with bronchial asthma may have an exacerbation of this disease.

Treatment: symptomatic, with mandatory provision of airway patency, monitoring of ECG and basic vital signs until the patient’s condition normalizes. Oral use of activated charcoal or gastric lavage within one hour of taking a potentially toxic dose of flurbiprofen is recommended.

Frequent or prolonged seizures should be stopped by intravenous use of diazepam or lorazepam. When exacerbating bronchial asthma, the use of bronchodilators is recommended. There is no specific antidote to flurbiprofen.

Description

A drug for a sore throat that not only helps to relieve symptoms, but also acts on the cause of pain — inflammation. The active ingredient is flurbiprofen. Thanks to the convenient dosage form in the form of resorption tablets, it easily gets into the focus of inflammation, even in those areas that are difficult to reach during gargling or when using a spray. The dose of flurbiprofen in one tablet (8.75 mg) was carefully selected in such a way as to have a local anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.

Special instructions

It is recommended to take the drug in the shortest possible course and in the minimum effective dose necessary to eliminate symptoms.

Patients with diabetes should take into account that each honey-lemon resorption tablet contains about 2.5 g of sugar (0.21 XE) (orange resorption tablets do not contain sugar).

Orange resorption tablets contain liquid maltitol and isomalt (the maximum daily dose of which exceeds 2 g), so they can have a laxative effect.

When symptoms of gastropathy appear, careful monitoring is indicated, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy, a general blood test (determination of hemoglobin), and a fecal occult blood test.

If it is necessary to determine 17-ketosteroids, the drug should be discontinued 48 hours before the study.

During the treatment period, it is not recommended to take ethanol.

Patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency, as well as elderly patients and patients taking diuretics, should consult a doctor before using the drug, since there is a risk of deterioration of the functional state of the kidneys. With short-term use of the drug, the risk is insignificant.

Patients with a history of hypertension and / or chronic heart failure should consult a doctor before using the drug, as the drug can cause fluid retention, increased blood pressure and edema.

Information for women planning pregnancy: the drug suppresses cyclooxygenase and prostaglandin synthesis and may affect ovulation, disrupting female reproductive function (reversible after discontinuation of treatment).

If you experience irritation in the oral cavity, skin rash, mucosal lesions and other manifestations of an allergic reaction, you should stop using the drug and consult a doctor.

If existing symptoms worsen or new ones appear, including signs of bacterial infection, you should immediately consult a doctor to review therapy.

Storage conditions

Store in a dry place at a temperature not exceeding 25 C. Keep out of the reach of children.
