Brufica Plus, 100 mg+162.5 mg/5 ml suspension 100 ml

Pharmacotherapeutic group: analgesic agent (NSAID + analgesic non-narcotic).

ATX code: M01AE51

Pharmacological properties

The combined drug.

It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. The mechanism of action of ibuprofen and paracetamol is due to inhibition of prostaglandin biosynthesis – mediators of pain and inflammation.

The effectiveness of the combination (ibuprofen + paracetamol) is higher than that of the individual components.

The mutually reinforcing effect of the combination (ibuprofen + paracetamol) results in a more pronounced decrease in pain sensitivity and increased antipyretic effect than individually.

Pharmacokinetics

Ibuprofen.Absorption is high. Maximum concentration (TC_max) in plasma is reached 1-2 hours after administration. Binding with plasma proteins is 90%. The elimination half-life (T_1/2) is 2 hours. Slowly penetrates into the joint cavity, lingers in synovial tissue, creating higher concentrations in it than in plasma. After absorption, about 60% of the pharmacologically inactive R-form is slowly transformed into the active S-form. It is metabolized. It is excreted by kidneys (not more than 1% unchanged) and, to a lesser extent, in bile.

Paracetamol. Absorption is high. Maximum concentration (TC_max) in plasma is reached 0.5 – 2 hours after intake. Binding with plasma proteins is 15%. It penetrates through the blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Metabolized in the liver (90 – 95%): 80% enters into conjugation reactions with glucuronic acid and sulfates to form inactive metabolites; 17% undergoes hydroxylation to form 8 active metabolites, which conjugate with glutathione to form already inactive metabolites. In case of glutathione deficiency these metabolites can block enzyme systems of hepatocytes and cause their necrosis. The CYP2E1 isoenzyme is also involved in the metabolism of the drug. T_1/2 – 1 – 4 h. It is excreted by the kidneys as metabolites, mainly conjugates. Less than 5% is excreted unchanged. T_1/2 is 4 – 5 hours.

How to take, the dosage

Brufica Plus is taken orally. The drug is taken when symptoms appear (increase in body temperature or pain syndrome).
Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. A syringe-dispenser or measuring spoon is provided for precise measuring of the dose of the drug.
The drug dose depends on the age and body weight of the child.

Body weight (age) Single dose
10-15 kg (2-3 years) 5 ml
16-21 kg (4-6 years) 7 ml.5 ml
22-26 kg (7-9 years) 10 ml
27-32 kg (10-11 years) 12.5 ml
33-43 kg (12-14 years) 15 ml

The drug is taken 3 times a day with an interval of 8 hours.
Caution: do not exceed the specified dose.
Duration of treatment:
– no more than 3 days as a fever reducer;
– no more than 5 days as a pain reliever.
If fever or pain persists, consult a physician.

Use a measuring syringe:
1. Shake the suspension (bottle) well.
2. Insert the syringe firmly into the neck of the bottle.
3. Turn the bottle upside down and gently pull the piston downwards, pouring the suspension into the syringe until it reaches the desired mark.
4. Return the bottle to its original position and take out the syringe by gently turning it.
5. Place the syringe in the oral cavity of the child and slowly press the piston, gently releasing the suspension.
After use, rinse the syringe in warm water and dry it out of the child’s reach.

Interaction

Concurrent use with the following drugs should be avoided:

– Acetylsalicylic acid: except for low doses of acetylsalicylic acid (not more than 75 mg per day) prescribed by a physician, because co-administration may increase the risk of side effects. Concomitant use decreases anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet effects of acetylsalicylic acid (the incidence of acute coronary failure may increase in patients receiving low doses of acetylsalicylic acid as antiplatelet agents after initiation of therapy).

With caution, use concomitantly with the following drugs:

– anticoagulants and thrombolytics: NSAIDs may increase the effect of anticoagulants, particularly warfarin and thrombolytics.

Hypotensive drugs (ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II antagonists) and diuretics: NSAIDs may reduce the effectiveness of drugs in these groups. Diuretics and ACE inhibitors may increase nephrotoxicity of NSAIDs.

Glucocorticosteroids: increased risk of GI ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding.

– Antiplatelet agents and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

– Cardiac glycosides: concomitant administration of NSAIDs and cardiac glycosides may worsen heart failure, decrease glomerular filtration rate, and increase plasma concentrations of cardiac glycosides.

Lithium preparations: There is evidence of the potential for increased plasma lithium concentrations with NSAIDs.

– methotrexate: there is data on the likelihood of increased plasma concentrations of methotrexate with NSAIDs.

Cyclosporine: there is an increased risk of nephrotoxicity when concomitant administration of NSAIDs and cyclosporine.

– mifepristone: NSAIDs should not be started earlier than 8-12 days after mifepristone administration because NSAIDs may reduce the effectiveness of mifepristone.

– Tacrolimus: simultaneous administration of NSAIDs and tacrolimus may increase the risk of nephrotoxicity.

– zidovudine: concomitant use of NSAIDs and zidovudine may increase hematotoxicity. There is evidence of an increased risk of hemarthrosis and hematomas in HIV-positive patients with hemophilia who have received concomitant treatment with zidovudine and NSAIDs.

– Quinolone antibiotics: patients co-treated with NSAIDs and quinolone antibiotics may have an increased risk of seizures.

. – Barbiturates, carbamazepine, phenytoin, diphenin, primidone and other anticonvulsants, ethanol, rifampicin, zidovudine, flumecinol, phenylbutazone, butadion, preparations of St John’s wort and other microsomal oxidation inducers increase production of hydroxylated active metabolites, causing possible severe liver damage in small overdoses.

– Microsomal liver enzyme inhibitors decrease the risk of hepatotoxic effects.

Paracetamol increases the excretion time of levomycetin (chloramphenicol) by 5 times, thereby increasing the risk of levomycetin (chloramphenicol) poisoning.

Metoclopramide and domperidone increase, and colestyramine decreases the rate of absorption of paracetamol. The drug may decrease the effectiveness of uricosuric drugs.

Special Instructions

It is recommended that the drug be taken for as short a course as possible and at the lowest effective dose necessary to relieve symptoms.

During long-term treatment, monitoring of peripheral blood count and functional status of the liver and kidneys is necessary. In case of gastropathy symptoms occurrence a thorough control is indicated, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy, general blood test (hemoglobin determination), fecal occult blood test. If it is necessary to determine 17-ketosterols, the drug should be discontinued 48 hours before the study. Ethanol intake is not recommended during treatment.

Patients with renal insufficiency should consult a physician before using the drug because there is a risk of impairment of renal function.

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

In case of uric acid and blood sugar tests, inform your physician about the use of the drug. Glutathione deficiency due to an eating disorder, cystic fibrosis, HIV infection, starvation, exhaustion cause the possibility of severe liver damage in small overdoses. The drug should not be used simultaneously with other drugs containing ibuprofen and/or paracetamol. Patients with rare hereditary fructose intolerance should not take this drug.

Influence of the drug on the ability to drive vehicles, mechanisms

. Patients who experience dizziness, drowsiness, lethargy or visual disturbances while taking ibuprofen and/or paracetamol should avoid driving or operating machinery.
