Ibuprofen is an NSAID that reduces pain, fever and inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.

- Headache: provides relief from mild to moderate headache pain. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature. - Musculoskeletal pain: reduces pain and swelling associated with strains, sprains and arthritis.

Adverse reactions may range from mild to severe and should be monitored during therapy.

Common Side Effects: - Dyspepsia: stomach discomfort or indigestion. - Nausea: feeling of sickness often accompanied by an urge to vomit. - Heartburn: burning sensation behind the breastbone. - Dizziness: light‑headed feeling or loss of balance. - Rash: mild skin irritation or redness. - Mild headache: low‑intensity head pain.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding: blood loss in the stomach or intestines. - Peptic ulcer perforation: a hole in the lining of the stomach or duodenum. - Severe allergic reaction: anaphylaxis with swelling, breathing difficulty. - Liver enzyme elevation: signs of hepatic stress. - Kidney impairment: reduced renal function or acute failure. - Cardiovascular events: increased risk of heart attack or stroke.

Before initiating ibuprofen therapy, consider patient‑specific risk factors and follow safe handling practices.

- Assess medical history: review gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and renal conditions. - Use with food: take tablets with meals or milk to lessen stomach irritation. - Avoid in known ulcer disease: contraindicated in active peptic ulcer. - Monitor renal function: especially in patients with pre‑existing kidney disease. - Avoid in third‑trimester pregnancy: risk to fetal circulation. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and heat.

Ibuprofen can alter the activity of several other medicines; interactions are categorized by clinical significance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Corticosteroids: heightened ulcer risk. - Lithium: elevated lithium serum levels. - Methotrexate: reduced clearance leading to toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors: possible reduction in antihypertensive effect. - Diuretics: potential decline in renal function. - SSRIs: modest increase in bleeding tendency. - Blood pressure agents: may blunt antihypertensive response. - Oral hypoglycemics: possible alteration of blood glucose control.
