The product consists of tablets which contain at least 600 mg of ibuprofen and a binder, or a mixture of binders, based on cellulose and cellulose derivatives in the form of microspheres which are coated with an acrylic resin of defined nature and are compressed together with a disintegrant; the tablets are preferably also coated with a lacquer layer. As a consequence of the high content of active compound and its delayed release in the body, the therapeutic treatment with ibuprofen can be reduced to a minimum number of intakes and dose units per day.

Pharmaceutical product for the sustained release of ibuprofen

Disclosed are aqueous, stable, relatively concentrated solutions of diclofenac, which contain a mixture of propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol in defined quantitative proportions. The solutions preferably contain a local anesthetic such as lidocaine and a reducing agent as stabilizer.

In addition to indometacin, the gel-like ointment for the topical treatment of inflammation contains a water-soluble cellulose ether or/and a polyacrylic acid, the carboxyl groups of which are neutralized by a water-soluble amine, plus water and ethanol or isopropanol; the components are present in the ratio of amounts suitable for forming a gel. Determination of the level of indometacin in the serum of humans has shown that the absorption through the skin of the active compound from the new ointment is significantly higher than that from the most closely related products.
