What is the ibuprofen lysine equivalent to?

4 min read
Ibuprofen lysine is a salt formulation of ibuprofen, not a different active ingredient entirely. While the total amount of the drug formulation may differ, the aim is to deliver a comparable amount of the active ibuprofen molecule. The primary clinical advantage of ibuprofen lysine over standard ibuprofen is its faster rate of absorption, which is particularly beneficial when rapid relief is needed, although the overall efficacy over several hours is comparable.
