Ibuprofen has been approved for Sale in a non prescription form since 1985 and is marketed under Brand names such As advil medi Pren motrin and Suprin. It accounts for about 20 percent of the nations $2.5 billion annual Over the counter sales of pain relievers. A three year study on the drug is detailed in sundays annals of internal Medicine. In an editorial two scientists asked the food and drug administration to strengthen the warning and to urge Consumers a with any serious conditions to consult their doctors before using the drug. The study examined the Short term effects of ibuprofen on 12 women with mild kidney disease who also had arthritis and High blood pressure two illnesses that often prompt the use of ibuprofen. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Balti More led by or. Andrew Whelton gave participants 800 milligrams of ibuprofen three times a Day the equivalent of 12 ibuprofen tablets a for up to 11 Days. After eight Days three women developed kidney failure which was reversed when ibuprofen was discontinued. The remaining nine who received ibuprofen for 11 Days showed changes in kidney function but did not develop kidney failure. After recovering the three women were Given 400 milligrams of ibuprofen three times a Day equivalent to a non prescription dose. Two of the three again developed kidney failure but recovered when the ibuprofen was stopped. Ibuprofen relieves pain by interfering with the body s production of Prost Arlandin a substance involved in inflammation. But the drug also constricts blood flow. Normally the change poses Little risk if used for a Short period. But for those whose blood flow to the kidneys is already reduced by kidney heart or liver damage the flu or aging ibuprofen could trigger acute kidney failure.

A patients with previously undiagnosed mild renal impairment May consume therapeutic doses of ibuprofen without supervision Quot and could suffer severe kidney damage they wrote. The editorialists pharmacologist Michael Murray of Indiana s Purdue University and or. D. Craig Brater of Indiana University said the study a results do not warrant the removal of ibuprofen from drugstore shelves. Instead they agreed with the recommendation of the National kidney foundation that warnings for the drug should be More explicit. Fra spokeswoman Eva Kemper said an Agency advisory panel met in february to consider the ibuprofen warnings but had not yet made any recommendations. Brater and Murray urged that further studies be conducted to determine the risk of the general population for developing kidney damage after using ibuprofen. Shuttle repaired Telescope launch Cape canaveral Fla. Apr Nasa installed a new Power unit in the space shuttle discovery on sunday and began recharging the batteries of the Hubble space Telescope. The discovery is scheduled to lift off with the $1.5 billion Telescope the space Agency a most expensive payload on april 25. A right now everything seems to be in the bag for a week from wednesday a said George Diller a spokesman for the National aeronautics and space administration. Technicians on saturday took out a faulty auxiliary Power unit that forced a scrub of the discovery a launch last tuesday. A new unit was then installed the first time the procedure has been performed at the launch pad. The discovery a payload Bay doors were opened on saturday and the telescopes six Nickel Hydrogen batteries were removed for recharging in a Laboratory at the vehicle Assembly building. Nasa began the batteries 130-hour recharge around noon  decided to take the batteries to the Laboratory because they can be recharged at a cooler temperature than at the launch pad and thus retain More Power. Diller said the weekend operations were the trickiest part of preparation for the second launch attempt. A this was really the difficult part Quot he said. Quot that a when we really feel like we be done  the shuttles three auxiliary Power units which weigh 88 pounds each pressurize the Hydraulic system used to move Wing and rudder surfaces and in the ships braking and steering system. All Power units must be operating properly for a Safe launch. Technicians closed the discovery so in the bag payload Bay doors sunday after the batteries were removed. The chamber will remain sealed to reduce the risk of getting dust on the telescopes 94-Incn Mirror until the batteries Are reinstalled on saturday.
