What is Ibuprofen used for?

Ibuprofen Alkaloid-Int is an NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation through cyclooxygenase inhibition. - Pain relief: alleviates mild to moderate pain such as headache, toothache or minor injuries. - Inflammation: decreases swelling and redness associated with inflammatory conditions. - Musculoskeletal pain: eases joint, muscle and tendon discomfort caused by strain or overuse.

Topical ibuprofen can cause local and systemic adverse reactions, most of which are mild.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation: redness or mild burning at the application site. - Itching: localized pruritus after use. - Dryness: occasional peeling or flaking of the skin. - Tingling: transient sensation of pins and needles. - Mild rash: limited erythematous patches.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. - Severe skin reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Ulceration: rare gastrointestinal ulcer development. - Kidney impairment: decreased renal function in susceptible individuals. - Liver enzyme elevation: abnormal hepatic function tests. - Cardiovascular events: increased risk of thrombotic events in high‑risk patients.
