Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), decreasing prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing inflammation, pain, and fever.
Fenoprofen, a propionic acid derivative, nonselectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), reducing prostaglandin synthesis.
200-800 mg orally every 6-8 hours as needed; maximum 3200 mg/day. For OTC use: 200-400 mg every 4-6 hours; max 1200 mg/day.
NALFON (fenoprofen) 200-600 mg orally 3-4 times daily; maximum dose 3200 mg/day.

Terminal elimination half-life: 2-4 hours in adults; prolonged in neonates (30 hours) and elderly (up to 6 hours). No accumulation with recommended dosing due to short t½.
