Indices: Intravenous Ibuprofen (2)
-----------------------------------------------


Dear colleague,

What would you need i.v. ibuprofen for? It is a relatively weak 
NSAID and hardly a good emergency pain killer. It is a highly acidic 
propionic acid derivative, and, as most similar drug, quite irritant to 
tissues. There is a lysine salt (Solprofen) and a methylglucamine salt 
(Artrene) on the market, but I don't know where, and whether it is 
suitable for i.v. administration.

Good luck,
