Effect of pirprofen on glibenclamide kinetics and response.

Pirprofen (a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent), 200 mg 8 hourly, or placebo was administered orally to eight normal volunteers to investigate its effect on the pharmacokinetics and glucose and insulin responses after 1 mg i.v. glibenclamide. No significant changes were produced in these measures and in vitro studies showed no displacement of glibenclamide by pirprofen from plasma protein binding.
