ObjectiveThis research was conducted to study the effect of flunixin meglumine and ketoprofen on the healing of excisional wounding in the tendon of rats. DesignExperimental study. AnimalsTwenty rats were equally divided into four groups of control, placebo (excised tendon receiving saline solution), flunixin and ketoprofen. ProceduresRight Achill complex of all groups underwent full thickness ...

The effect of iontophoresis and switching iontophoresis on the skin accumulation of drugs was investigated. An acrylic diffusion cell mounted with electrode cells (bore: 2.2 cm) with circular platinum electrodes (diameter: 2.0 cm) was used for the skin accumulation study. The skin accumulation of fluorescein after non-switching and switching iontophoresis was macroscopically compared with that ...

The composition of a polymeric potential-determining phase for ketoprofen selective electrode has been determined and the following basic electrode parameters were examined: measurement range, slope characteristic, limit of detection, response time, lifetime and selectivity coefficients in relation to some organic and inorganic anions. The electrode have been used for ketoprofen determination i...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of transdermal ketoprofen in reducing delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), limiting systemic absorption, and improving postexercise function following repetitive muscle contraction. DESIGN Double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. SETTING OrthoMed, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA, U.S.A. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-two healthy males ...

PURPOSE Although non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsNSAIDs) and opioids are effective treatments for acute renal colic, they are associated with adverse events (AEs). As cyclooxygenase-2 selective NSAIDs may provide a safer alternative, we compared the efficacy and safety of parecoxib versus an nsNSAID in subjects with acute renal colic. MATERIALS AND METHODS Phase IV., mu...

Robenacoxib and ketoprofen are acidic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Both are licensed for once daily administration in the cat, despite having short blood half-lives. This study reports the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modelling of each drug in a feline model of inflammation. Eight cats were enrolled in a randomized, controlled, three-period cross-over study. In each...

Hyper-reninaemia, hypokaluria, and hypokalaemia in an infant with congenital chloride diarrhoea improved during treatment with a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor, ketoprofen. There was evidence of increased activity of therenin-aldosterone system when ketoprofen was stopped. It is suggested that prostaglandins may be involved in stimulating the renin-aldosterone system in congenital chloride ...

In view of its importance for the development dispersion and distribution models in environment also design removal methods from wastewaters, mobility solute-solvent interaction aqueous solutions two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ketoprofen ibuprofen) were studied by measuring mutual diffusion coefficients each pharmaceutical water at infinitesimal concentration as a function temperatu...

A 2-year-old, 210-kg, Duroc boar manifested with a grade II-III left front lameness. The boar was treated systemically with isolfupredone acetate and a 5-week course of ketoprofen. The lameness resolved and the ketoprofen was discontinued; however, the lameness returned and the boar was euthanized humanely. Postmortem examination was consistent with osteochondrosis dessicans.

BACKGROUND Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are considered today a very important group of medication, with a wide variety of therapeutic use, in different areas of modern medicine. Despite their beneficial effects on the patient, these drugs show a high incidence of side effects, mainly in the gastrointestinal tract. The physiopathological mechanisms of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory dru...
