Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time Curve From Time Zero to Last Observed Concentration at Time t (AUC[0-t]) for Ibuprofen in Fasted Conditions Primary · Pre-dose (within 2 hours prior to dosing) and at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120 minutes, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post-dose

AUC(0-t) was defined as area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to last observed concentration at time t calculated using the linear up log down trapezoidal rule. Blood samples were collected at indicated timepoints for the analysis of AUC(0-t). Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were determined by non-compartmental analysis.
