This study was carried out in the Clinical and Analytical Unit of the Pharmacology and Toxicology Department of the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, in order to compare the bioavailability (Cmax, AUC) of an oral formulation containing Ibuprofen 100 mg/Acetaminophen 125 mg in combination with the two oral formulations Ibuprofen 100 mg or Acetaminophen 125 mg administered as a single dose, in healthy subjects under fasting conditions.
The study design was crossover, 3 x 6 x 3, open, prospective and longitudinal, at a single dose, of the combination of Ibuprofen 100 mg/Acetaminophen 125 mg/5 mL suspension, administered orally versus each component administered individually Ibuprofen 100 mg/5 mL or Acetaminophen 125 mg/3.9 mL, with an elimitation period (washout) of 1 week. In order to compare the pharmacokinetic profile (Cmax and AUC0-t) of the Ibuprofen/Acetaminophen combination 100 mg/125 mg/5 mL, versus each component administered individually, in 42 healthy subjects, of both genders, under fasting conditions, to establish the interaction of drugs in combination. As well as, to characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters, Cmax and AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, Tmax, Ke, and T1/2 and to establish the frequency and type of adverse events with the two formulations.
