Pharmacological action
Arthroker is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). After oral administration, diacerein is rapidly absorbed from the digestive tract and completely deacetylated to rhein. The concomitant use of the drug with food increases bioavailability by 25%. Cmax rhein in plasma is reached after 1.44 minutes. T1 / 2 from plasma is 255 min. The relationship of rhein with albumin is almost 100%. With a single dose of 50 mg, Cmax reaches 3.15 mg / L. With repeated administration of the drug, Cmax increases due to the accumulation of the drug. Rhein is excreted by the kidneys unchanged (20%) and in the form of glucuronide (60%) and sulfate (20%). Rhein crosses the placental barrier and the BBB.
