Ibuprofen Abstract The project that I chose to research was the effect of Ibuprofen on the heart rate of the daphnia. The reason that I chose to do this was because many people in society use over the counter pain killers without really understanding any of the long term effects of this medicine other than clearing their aches pains, and swelling. One of the leading drugs on the market today is Ibuprofen which you may know as Motrin or Advil. Both drugs are identical except for quantity and price
Patients may take an oral dose of ibuprofen to treat mild to moderate pain and inflammation. It is present in a caplet, tablet, capsule or suspension form available for oral use. “For self-medication in paediatric patients, ibuprofen is commercially available as oral drops, an oral suspension, chewable tablets, and film-coated tablets.” A daily dose of 1.2-1.8g is recommended, however, a lower dose of 600mg to 1.2g may also prove to be effective. The dosage may be increased if the pain proves to
Ibuprofen is a medicine which has been available in the UK since 1969; it was discovered by scientists working for the Boots Company in the 1950s when looking for an alternative with fewer side effects than the commonly prescribed aspirin (The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013). Ibuprofen belongs to a class of drugs known as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and is available as a Prescription only Medicine (POM), over the counter as a Pharmacy (P) medicine and in retail outlets as a General
Kidney Failure and Ultramarathoning Four days after winning the Seagate 100 km Ultramarathon in Toledo, Ohio, I was hospitalized for 11 days with Acute Kidney Failure, a direct consequence of the race, possibly exacerbated by the 2400 mg of ibuprofen that I took during the race. In this article, I will describe my race and my hospitalization, discuss similar experiences of two runners after the 1994 Western States (WS) 100 Mile Endurance Run, and tell what I have learned that might be of general
examples of Aspirin are Bayer, Ecotrin, and Aspergum. ·Ibuprofen (propionic acid) is an anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic. It is often used to treat arthritis, dental pain, menstrual pain, headache, migraine, and back pain. Ibuprofen works by reducing the levels of prostaglandis (substances that cause pain) in the body. This drug is gentler on the stomach than aspirin. The molecular formula of ibuprofen is C13H18O2. Some examples of ibuprofen are Motrin, Advil, and Nuprin. ·Acetaminophen (Paracetamol)

Introduction Acetaminophen, also known as Paracetamol, is an organic compound that is commonly used as a medication for pain and fever relief. It has been around for a while and is found under several different brand names around the world. With research, the chemistry behind acetaminophen can be discovered as well as its practical applications, its adverse effects to society and the environment, and other information surrounding this compound. The History In the middle ages, Antipyretic agents

Ibuprofen: Part B. Figure 1. Structural features of Ibuprofen Ibuprofen has two functional groups; Carboxyl group (COOH) and an aromatic group (Benzene ring) the chemical formula for ibuprofen is C13H18O2. Part C. Ibuprofen consists of covalently-bonded carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Two CH3 molecules are single-bonded to a CH molecule. The CH molecule
The negative chronotropic substance is when the substance slows down (decreases also, called a depressants) the heart rate and positive substance speed up (increase also, called stimulant) the rate of the heart. With the effects of the chronotropic substances, these substances can cause an increase in the force and the velocity of the myocardial systolic contraction this is a positive substance, with a negative substance, it can decrease the velocity through the atrioventricular node, also decreasing
Ninety percent of Americans have experienced a headache at some point in their lives. Only four percent of the entire Earth’s population has never experienced a headache. This is not surprising since there are so many different types of headaches. The two major groups of headaches are primary and secondary. The primary headache group consists of Tension Type Headaches, Migraines, and Cluster Headaches. The secondary headache group consists of Cervicogenic Headaches, Posttraumatic Headache Syndrome
It’s been hard the past two years. Headaches are not fun. A headache can be just a brain freeze that lasts a couple of minuets of a migraine that lasts a couple of hours. My headaches are different they last form the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep and they might even be going on while I’m sleeping and just not know it. I’ve had these headaches for two years so far and its scary since they could be damaging my brain; I am already starting to forget things like taking my medication or
It is just a fact of life that many people experience pain. Whether they are young or old, people stretch their limits by hearing loud sounds and stretching their athletic ability. As they continue to stretch their limits, they seek a way to bypass the pain. A Super Bowl is the perfect time to advertise a product. This program’s audience is most likely the type to watch the most important game in the National Football League season. “By making pain a distant memory” (“50”), “Advil – Anthem” productively
The Success of Tylenol During the 1900's, the McNeil company developed and established Tylenol into a well known and recommended analgesic. It has become recognized world wide as a safe brand of acetaminophen. The name Tylenol has become identified as a trusted, safe drug that people can easily purchase over the counter for their ailments. Tylenol is still recommended by doctors even though there was a cyanide scare in the history of the company. It has been discovered by my independent survey
The next time you consider popping ibuprofen, for a headache or joint pain, understand that relief may come with a deadly price — heart attack, stroke and potentially life threatening gastrointestinal bleeding. More and more we learn that by taking ibuprofen we subject ourselves to serious health conditions like heart attack or stroke. Yet, at one time or another, most of us has popped ibuprofen or administered it to a loved one to relieve pain or bring down a fever. Although no one should ever
25% hexane; the solution of 75% ethyl acetate and 25% hexane was determined to be the best solvent. This is due to the larger variance in RF values. The six standards that Motrin was tested against were Aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, caffeine and a caffeine and ibuprofen mixture. To determine which standard was present in the chosen drug, the retention factors, or RF, were calculated. A UV light was also used to see the distance each sample traveled in
My Science Fair experiment is based on four main products: ibuprofen, acetic acid, bleach, and bread. The name of this experiment is "Bread vs. Chemicals." The goal of this experiment is to determine which chemical bread can survive in the longest. I will conduct multiple trials of each type of chemical and promptly record the results. I will use three containers, one for each chemical, and place a piece of bread in each to observe how long the bread can survive without falling apart. This experiment
You have been asked to design an oral liquid formulation of ibuprofen for paediatric use. Discuss the issues which should be considered before embarking on the formulation design/manufacturing process. The issue that needs to be considered includes: Size and stability: Liquid formulation can be bulky, difficult to transport and store.1 During storage under the stated conditions, it’s necessary that oral solutions are not subject to precipitation, fast sedimentation, caking or formation of lump
