The innovation in Oklys
OKLYS / OKLYS FORTE is the only one of its kind ibuprofen L-arginine in Bulgaria.
Searching a way to further accelerate the analgesic effect of ibuprofen at the end of the 20th century, the combination of ibuprofen and L-arginine was found that provides much faster absorption of the active substance. Ibuprofen L – arginine has 2 to 5 times faster absorption compared to products containing racemic ibuprofen, t max is 20 minutes after administration on an empty stomach (SPC).
t max – the time for which the peak (highest) concentration in the blood is reached.
Faster absorption leads to faster pain relief with the same side effect profile. A 2017 trial* in healthy volunteers measured changes in PGE2 (prostaglandin E2 – the enzyme responsible for the onset of pain) levels compared to pre-administration levels of different pharmaceutical forms of ibuprofen and found significant differences.
Although the different forms reach similar levels of enzyme inhibition, the pharmaceutical form ibuprofen L-arginine significantly increases the weighted average inhibition of PGE2 compared to standard ibuprofen in the eight-hour period post oral administration.
The innovative formula of Oklys and Oklys Forte – ibuprofen L-arginine allows the active substance to penetrate as quickly as possible into the body and counteract the mechanisms leading to the manifestation of pain.
Both products – Oklys 400 mg and Oklys Forte 600 mg allow precise adherence to the principle of the lowest effective dose, both in a single dose and within a twenty-four hour period.
Oklys and Oklys Forte are available in the pharmacies throughout the country.
