This study will investigate pharmacological interventions between fluconazole and ibuprofen when they are given to premature newborn babys. This in order to find out if the drugs are influencing each other when they are given at the same time. The study is meant to find out if there are reasons to adjust the dose when fluconazole and ibuprofen are given together.
To evaluate the effect of fluconazole and/or ibuprofen on the urinary excretion of two vasoactive arachidonic acid products, thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and prostacycline (PGI2), in newborn infants treated with one or both of these drugs because of fungal infection prophylaxis and/or patent ductus arteriosis (PDA), respectively, as measurement of the possible interactions between these drugs.

Urinary concentrations of prostacycline (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TxA2) measured in picogram/milliliter.
To evaluate the effect of fluconazole and/or ibuprofen on the urinary excretion of two vasoactive arachidonic acid products, thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and prostacycline (PGI2), in newborn infants treated with one or both of these drugs for fungal infection prophylaxis and/or patent ductus arteriosis (PDA), respectively.
Time frame: 5 days
Concentration of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and prostacycline (PGI2) in relation to genetic variation of the enzymes of the Cytochrome (P4502C) family.
To evaluate if genetic variability in the enzyme Cytochrome (P4502C) influence the urinary excretion of two vasoactive arachidonic acid products: thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and prostacycline (PGI2) in newborn infants treated with fluconazole and/or ibuprofen.
Time frame: 5 days
Number of and type of Adverse Drug Reactions
To evaluate safety of fluconazole and ibuprofen given separately or in combination to newborn infants with clinical indication for treatment with these drugs.
Time frame: 5 days
