Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 258021 0
To investigate the impact of varying body mass index on paracetamol, ibuprofen and metabolite pharmacokinetics in adults.
Timepoint [1] 258021 0
Screening: within 1 month prior to treatment administration.
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 [1] 263583 0
To determine the relationship between venous blood plasma paracetamol, ibuprofen and metabolite concentrations and those obtained from saliva and fingerprick blood samples.
Timepoint [1] 263583 0
Venous blood, saliva and fingerprick blood samples will be collected at 0.5, 2 & 4 hours after treatment administration.

Non-randomised trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
All subjects will be allocated to recevie the same study treatment (single oral dose of 1g paracetamol and 400mg ibuprofen). Equal numbers of participants will be recruited into each BMI classification group (ie. normal weight 18.5-25kg/m2; overweight 25-30kg/m2; obese >30kg/m2).
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Not randomised.
