Erceflora is a preparation consisting of suspension of Bacillus clausii spores, normal inhabitants of the

intestine, with no pathogenic powers. Administered orally, Bacillus clausii spores, due to their high-
resistance to both chemical and physical agents, cross the barrier of the gastric juices reaching
unharmed the intestinal tract where they are transformed into metabolically active vegetative cells.
The administration of Bacillus clausii contributes to the recovery of the intestinal microbial flora altered
during the course of microbial disorders of diverse origin. Bacillus clausii is capable of producing various
vitamins, in particular group B vitamins, hence it contributes to correcting the consequent vitamin
disorders caused by antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents in general. Bacillus clausii makes it
possible to obtain a non-specific antigenic & antitoxic action, closely connected with the metabolic
action of clausii.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen work by inhibiting the enzyme


cyclooxygenase (COX), which converts arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2 (PGH2). PGH2, in turn, is
converted by other enzymes to several other prostaglandins (which are mediators of pain,
inflammation, and fever) and to thromboxane A2 (which stimulates platelet aggregation, leading to the
formation of blood clots).

Like aspirin, indomethacin, and most other NSAIDs, ibuprofen is considered a non-selective
COX inhibitor—that is, it inhibits two isoforms of cyclooxygenase, COX-1 and COX-2. The
analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory activity of NSAIDs appears to be achieved mainly
through inhibition of COX-2, whereas inhibition of COX-1 would be responsible for unwanted
effects on platelet aggregation and the gastrointestinal tract.[13] However, the role of the
individual COX isoforms in the analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and gastric damage effects of
NSAIDs is uncertain and different compounds cause different degrees of analgesia and gastric
damage.[14] In order to achieve the beneficial effects of ibuprofen and other NSAIDS without
gastrointestinal uleceration and bleeding, selective COX-2 inhibitors were developed to inhibit
the COX-2 isoform without inhibition of COX-1. [15]

[edit] Adverse effects


Main article: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug

Ibuprofen appears to have the lowest incidence of digestive adverse drug reactions (ADRs) of all
the non-selective NSAIDs. However, this only holds true at lower doses of ibuprofen, so over-
the-counter preparations of ibuprofen are generally labeled to advise a maximum daily dose of
1,200 mg.[16][17]

Common adverse effects include: nausea, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal ulceration/bleeding, raised


liver enzymes, diarrhea, constipation, epistaxis, headache, dizziness, priapism, rash, salt and
fluid retention, and hypertension.[18]. A study from 2010 has shown that regular use of NSAIDs
was associated with an increase in hearing loss.[19]

Infrequent adverse effects include: esophageal ulceration, heart failure, hyperkalemia, renal
impairment, confusion, and bronchospasm.[18]
