Abstract: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including diclofenac, flufenamic acid, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, indomethacin, ketoprofen, naproxen, phenylbutazone, piroxicam and sulindac are administered in micelles to alleviate their adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract. The drugs are formulated with surfactants such as polyethoxylated nonionics to give micelle-forming compositions.
