Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti‑inflammatory drug that reduces prostaglandin‑mediated inflammation and pain.

- Musculoskeletal pain: provides localized relief of aches and soreness in muscles and tendons. - Minor joint pain: reduces swelling and discomfort in small joints such as fingers or toes. - Sports injuries: alleviates bruising, strain and mild inflammation after physical activity. - Post‑traumatic bruising: helps control localized pain and redness following minor trauma.

Topical ibuprofen can cause skin‑related reactions and, rarely, systemic adverse events.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation: mild redness or discomfort at the application site. - Itching: localized pruritus after use. - Burning sensation: transient warmth or stinging. - Dry skin: occasional flaking where the product is applied. - Mild rash: non‑serious erythematous patches.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: hives, swelling or anaphylaxis. - Severe skin reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Ulceration at application site: breakdown of skin tissue. - Systemic NSAID toxicity: rare, especially with extensive use over large areas. - Hepatic or renal impairment: unlikely but possible with excessive absorption.

When using Ibuprofen Alkaloid-Int, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess skin integrity: avoid application on open wounds or damaged skin. - Avoid broken skin: do not use on cuts, abrasions or eczema‑affected areas. - Limit application area: restrict use to the recommended surface area to minimise systemic absorption. - Monitor for systemic effects: watch for signs of gastrointestinal upset or renal changes, especially in vulnerable patients. - Use with caution in the elderly: age‑related skin thinning may increase irritation risk. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct heat.

Topical ibuprofen may interact with other systemic or topical agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Oral NSAIDs: concurrent use can increase systemic exposure and risk of adverse events. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): may heighten bleeding tendency. - ACE inhibitors: combined use may affect renal function. - Lithium: ibuprofen can raise lithium serum levels. - Methotrexate: risk of enhanced toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Corticosteroid creams: may increase skin thinning when used together. - Diuretics: monitor renal function. - SSRIs or other serotonergic agents: observe for potential bleeding risk.
