What is Ibuprofen?

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Ibufen, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug presented as a rectal suppository for local administration. It is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, reduce fever, and treat inflammatory conditions such as musculoskeletal discomfort and dysmenorrhea. GNH USA supplies Ibufen as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Ibuprofen used for?

Ibufen is an NSAID that acts on inflammatory pathways to alleviate several common conditions.

Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesia for headaches, toothaches, and musculoskeletal aches. Fever: reduces elevated body temperature associated with infections or inflammatory states. Inflammatory conditions: diminishes swelling and discomfort in musculoskeletal injuries. Dysmenorrhea: eases menstrual cramps and associated pelvic pain.

Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Ibufen used for?+
Ibufen is a rectal ibuprofen suppository indicated for relief of mild to moderate pain, reduction of fever, treatment of inflammatory conditions such as musculoskeletal discomfort, and alleviation of dysmenorrhea. It provides a local route of administration for patients who may have difficulty swallowing oral medications.
How does ibuprofen work in Ibufen?+
Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Ibufen, blocks the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are essential for prostaglandin synthesis. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it reduces inflammation, pain signaling, and fever responses at the site of tissue irritation.
What is the usual dose of Ibufen?+
The appropriate dose of Ibufen is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.
Is Ibufen safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The safety of ibuprofen suppositories during pregnancy has not been fully established, and it is generally advised to avoid use in the third trimester. Breastfeeding mothers should consult a healthcare provider, as ibuprofen can be excreted in breast milk.
How do I order Ibufen from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Ibufen product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Ibufen compare with other NSAIDs?+
Ibufen delivers ibuprofen via a rectal suppository, offering an alternative route for patients who cannot take oral tablets. Compared with oral ibuprofen, the suppository may provide faster onset in certain cases and bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, potentially reducing oral irritation but still sharing a similar safety profile.
What are the storage requirements for Ibufen?+
Ibufen should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the product away from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat to maintain its stability and efficacy.
How is Ibufen administered?+
The suppository is inserted rectally, preferably after a bowel movement and before lying down. The patient should lie on their side with the upper leg drawn toward the abdomen, gently push the suppository in, and remain lying down for a few minutes to ensure proper absorption.
What are the most serious risks associated with Ibufen?+
Serious risks include gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, renal impairment, and increased cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, rash, swelling, or chest discomfort.
Who should not use Ibufen?+
Ibufen should be avoided by individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulcers, severe renal or hepatic impairment, uncontrolled hypertension, or a history of cardiovascular disease without medical guidance.
