What is Ibuprofen?

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Ibum, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It treats pain, fever, inflammation and arthritis in adults and children as appropriate.

GNH USA supplies Ibum as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Ibuprofen used for?

Ibuprofen is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes.

Pain: provides analgesic relief in mild to moderate pain conditions. Fever: lowers elevated body temperature. Inflammation: decreases swelling and redness associated with acute injuries. Arthritis: alleviates joint pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

What are the side effects of Ibuprofen?

Common Side Effects: - Upset stomach or dyspepsia. - Nausea. - Headache. - Dizziness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation. - Acute kidney injury or worsening of chronic renal disease. - Severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome.

What precautions apply to Ibuprofen?

Before using ibuprofen, consider the following precautions: - Assess renal function: evaluate kidney status, especially in patients with pre‑existing impairment. - Evaluate gastrointestinal risk: avoid in individuals with active ulcers or a history of GI bleeding. - Use the lowest effective dose: limit duration to the shortest period necessary for symptom control. - Avoid concomitant anticoagulants: increased risk of bleeding when combined with warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Ibuprofen interact with?

Ibuprofen may interact with several medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): heightened bleeding risk. - Antiplatelet agents (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel): additive anticoagulant effect. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): increased potential for gastrointestinal bleeding.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors (e.g., enalapril): possible reduction in renal function. - Diuretics (e.g., furosemide): may diminish diuretic efficacy. - Lithium: ibuprofen can raise serum lithium concentrations.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ibum used for?+
Ibum contains ibuprofen, an NSAID that is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain, reduce fever, and decrease inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, and postoperative discomfort.
How does ibuprofen work?+
Ibuprofen works by blocking the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are essential for producing prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels reduce pain signalling, lower body temperature, and diminish inflammatory swelling.
What is the usual dose of ibuprofen?+
The appropriate dose of ibuprofen is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.
Is ibuprofen safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of ibuprofen in pregnancy and lactation is not fully established. It is generally avoided in the third trimester and used only if clearly needed under medical supervision. Breastfeeding mothers should consult a healthcare provider before use.
How do I order Ibum from GNH USA?+
To order Ibum, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with 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 ibuprofen compare with the main alternative drug or class?+
Compared with acetaminophen, ibuprofen provides both analgesic and anti‑inflammatory effects, whereas acetaminophen mainly reduces pain and fever without significant anti‑inflammatory activity. Ibuprofen may be preferred when inflammation is a key component, but it carries a higher risk of gastrointestinal and renal side effects.
How should I store Ibum?+
Store Ibum at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the tablets in the original packaging, protect them from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability.
How is Ibum given/administered?+
Ibum is administered orally, typically as a whole tablet swallowed with a full glass of water. It may be taken with food or milk to lessen stomach irritation, but patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their prescriber.
What are the most serious risks to watch for?+
The most serious risks associated with ibuprofen include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation, acute kidney injury, and severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice signs of bleeding, sudden kidney problems, or severe skin rashes.
Who should not use ibuprofen?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulcers, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or advanced renal disease should avoid ibuprofen unless directed by a healthcare professional.
