54 year old woman, diabetes mellitus, swelling in her left knee, low dose ibuprofen results in incomplete relief, which explains why a larger dose is more approriate?

answer: anti-inflammatory dose is nearly twice the analgesic dose

is that true?

  #3

yessssssssssssss it is

  #4

yes because this person might have some inflammation of his joint secondary to infection or something due to immunosupressoin due to DM,,,,,,,,,,so we need a drug that is antiinflammatory too....and in general for NSAIDS anti inflammatory dose is always greater than analgesic dose.....
