Ibuprofen acts systemically to reduce pain, fever and inflammation associated with a variety of common conditions.

- Mild to moderate pain: alleviates headache, dental, musculoskeletal and menstrual discomfort. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature caused by infection or inflammatory processes. - Inflammation: reduces swelling and stiffness in conditions such as arthritis or soft‑tissue injury.

Adverse reactions may range from mild, transient symptoms to serious, potentially life‑threatening conditions.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, dyspepsia or abdominal discomfort. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness or vertigo. - Skin rash or mild itching. - Elevated blood pressure in susceptible individuals.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration or perforation. - Acute renal impairment or failure. - Severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Hepatotoxicity presenting as jaundice or abnormal liver enzymes.

Before using ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess gastrointestinal risk: avoid in patients with active ulcers or a history of GI bleeding. - Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration needed. - Avoid in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. - Exercise caution in patients with renal, hepatic or cardiovascular disease. - Monitor concomitant use of anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Ibuprofen can affect the efficacy and safety of several other medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Corticosteroids: heightened risk of ulceration and bleeding. - Lithium: ibuprofen may raise lithium serum levels. - Methotrexate: reduced clearance leading to toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: possible reduction in renal function. - Antihypertensives (ACE inhibitors, ARBs): may blunt blood‑pressure‑lowering effect. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): increased bleeding tendency. - Beta‑blockers: potential for reduced renal perfusion. - Alcohol: synergistic gastrointestinal irritation.
