Absorption, distribution and biotransfermation for Orudis(Ketoprofen): Med Safe: "Ketoprofen is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Maximal plasma levels are reached within 1.0 to 1.5 hours after administration. When ketoprofen is administered with food, the rate of absorption is slowed, resulting in delayed and reduced peak concentration (Cmax), however its total bioavailability is not altered. There is no accumulation on continued daily dosing.The drug is 99% bound to plasma protein. Ketoprofen diffuses into synovial fluid and in intraarticular, capsular, synovial and tendon tissues. Ketoprofen crosses the blood brain barrier and the placenta barrier. The plasma elimination half-life is approximately 2 hours. The volume of distribution is 6.7 ± 1.7 l. The biotransformation of ketoprofen is characterised by two main processes, hydroxylation and conjugation with glucuronic acid, the latter being the main pathway in man. Excretion of ketoprofen as unchanged drug is very low (less than 1%). Almost all administered ketoprofen is excreted as metabolites in the urine, of which 65 to 85% of administered dose is excreted as a glucuronide metabolite."

Alcohol Avoid alcohol when using this medication because it increases the risk of stomach irritation. PregnancyDo not use ketoprofen while pregnant. Breast Feeding Ketoprofen passes into breast milk; avoid use while nursing. Infants and Children Ketoprofen may be used in exceptional circumstances; consult your doctor.

Help lessen stomach upset while taking Orudis (Ketoprofen): A healthy Me: "Take ketoprofen with food, milk, or an antacid to lessen stomach upset. Remain upright (sitting or standing) for 15 to 30 minutes after each dose to prevent irritation of your esophagus (throat). Do not crush, chew, or break any extended-release forms of ketoprofen (e.g., Oruvail). Swallow them whole. Watch for bloody, black, or tarry stools or blood in your vomit. These symptoms could indicate damage to your gastrointestinal tract. If you drink more than three alcoholic beverages a day, ketoprofen may increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Symptoms of a ketoprofen overdose include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, ringing in the ears, blurred vision, seizures, sweating, numbness or tingling, little or no urine production, and slow breathing."

Comprehensive informations for Orudis (Ketoprofen): Wyeth Info: "CLINICAL TRIALS Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis The efficacy of ketoprofen has been demonstrated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Using standard assessments of therapeutic response, there were no detectable differences in effectiveness or in the incidence of adverse events in crossover comparison of Orudis and Oruvail. In other trials, ketoprofen demonstrated effectiveness comparable to aspirin, Ketoprofen, naproxen, piroxicam, diclofenac and indomethacin. In some of these studies there were more dropouts due to gastrointestinal side effects among patients on ketoprofen than among patients on other NSAIDs.In studies with patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ketoprofen was administered in combina-tionwith gold salts, antimalarials, low-dose methotrexate, d-penicillamine, and/or cortico-steroidswith results comparable to those seen with control nonsteroidal drugs.Management of PainThe effectiveness of Orudis as a general-purpose analgesic has been studied in standardpain models which have shown the effectiveness of doses of 25 to 150 mg. Doses of 25 mgwere superior to placebo. Doses larger than 25 mg generally could not be shown to be sig-nificantlymore effective, but there was a tendency toward faster onset and greater durationof action with 50 mg, and, in the case of dysmenorrhea, a significantly greater effect overallwith 75 mg. Doses greater than 50 to 75 mg did not have increased analgesic effect. Studiesin postoperative pain have shown that Orudis in doses of 25 to 100 mg was comparable to650 mg of acetaminophen with 60 mg of codeine, or 650 mg of acetaminophen with 10 mgof oxycodone. Ketoprofen tended to be somewhat slower in onset; peak pain relief wasabout the same and the duration of the effect tended to be 1 to 2 hours longer, particularly with the higher doses of ketoprofen."
