Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To investigate the impact of varying body mass index on paracetamol, ibuprofen and metabolite pharmacokinetics in adults.[Screening: within 1 month prior to treatment administration.<br>Study Visit: Subjects are confined to the study unit from prior to dosing until 8 hours after treatment administration. Fingerprick blood and saliva samples for pharmacokinetic analysis will be collected prior to dosing, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 8 hours after treatment administration.]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To determine the relationship between venous blood plasma paracetamol, ibuprofen and metabolite concentrations and those obtained from saliva and fingerprick blood samples.[Venous blood, saliva and fingerprick blood samples will be collected at 0.5, 2 & 4 hours after treatment administration.]
