Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly prescribed medications for the management of arthritis, with an average annual cost of approximately $300 million per year [
]. While many NSAIDs, including Ibuprofen, are available as oral tablets, they have some important advantages over oral tablets, such as their cost per dose and cost-effectiveness [
,
However, the cost-effectiveness of these medications is not fully understood. A study conducted in China showed that over half of the patients receiving generic formulations of NSAIDs required between three and six months to experience pain relief and reduced the risk of osteoarthritis [
In the USA, the average cost of NSAIDs in China is around $3,300 million [
The costs of these medications vary from $6,000 to $20,000 per month, with the average cost for oral tablets being around $200 million [
The costs of ibuprofen are higher than those of other NSAIDs, including the oral tablets [
However, the high cost of oral tablets is still an issue to be resolved in China. The cost-effectiveness of oral ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) is about $1,750 per year, with the average cost per year for oral tablets being around $600 to $800 per year [
Ibuprofen, which is available in three forms, including tablets and capsules, has been studied and proven to be an effective option for the treatment of osteoarthritis, and it is believed that it may improve the effectiveness of NSAIDs [
However, the cost-effectiveness of oral ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) is still not fully known in China, and the clinical experience of the Chinese healthcare system has been limited, and there is a lack of information about the cost-effectiveness of oral ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) in this country [
In this study, we evaluated the cost-effectiveness of oral ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) in China.
The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the National People’s Hospital and the National Health Insurance Research Database.
This retrospective review was conducted in a single-center, cross-sectional, cross-sectional, prospective design using the PRISMA statement [
The study included patients from the public hospitals of Shanghai, China, and the outpatient hospitals of Shanghai, China, from December 2017 to December 2018. The patients who received oral ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) for at least one year were excluded from this study. The patients were classified into four groups based on the following criteria: Group 1 (n = 60), Group 2 (n = 60), Group 3 (n = 60), and Group 4 (n = 60).
The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the National People’s Hospital and the National Health Insurance Research Database (No. 205701-2018-1).
The inclusion criteria were as follows: Patients in Group 1, 1 to ≤ 6 months, who received ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) for at least one year; Group 2, 1 to ≤ 6 months, who received ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) for at least one year; and Group 3, 1 to ≤ 6 months, who received ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) for at least one year. The exclusion criteria were as follows: Patients who received oral ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) for more than 12 months; Group 4, 1 to ≤ 6 months, who received ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) for at least one year; and Group 5, 1 to ≤ 6 months, who received ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) for at least one year. The exclusion criteria were as follows: Patients who had received oral ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) for at least one year; and Group 6, 1 to ≤ 6 months, who received ibuprofen (up to 1000 mg) for at least one year.
Ibuprofen, a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower blood pressure. It is widely available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and liquid suspensions. Ibuprofen is a non- estrogenic NSAID, which means it does not cause an increase in estrogen levels. This makes it an effective pain management option for individuals who have struggled to manage their pain and/or inflammation without sufficient control over their estrogen levels.
Ibuprofen is commonly used to manage pain and reduce inflammation. It is primarily used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower pain associated with conditions like arthritis. Ibuprofen can be used to treat conditions such as headaches, menstrual cramps, and muscle aches.
Ibuprofen works by reducing the production of estrogen, a key factor in managing pain and inflammation. Estrogen is a chemical that is produced in the body when one sex or other sexually active females receive sexual stimulation. This release of estrogen triggers the production of inflammatory chemicals, such as enzymes, which cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. Ibuprofen reduces the production of these inflammatory chemicals by inhibiting the enzyme, N-acetylcysteine-phosphatase.
Common side effects of Ibuprofen can include hot flashes, mood swings, and headaches. It is important to manage these side effects as advised by healthcare providers. In rare cases, Ibuprofen has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke. These events can be fatal, and it is crucial to follow the recommended dosage and stop the use at least 2 hours before or after taking Ibuprofen.
Ibuprofen side effects can include:
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek medical advice from your healthcare provider.
