Ibuprofen acts on inflammatory pathways to provide analgesic, antipyretic and anti‑inflammatory effects. - Mild to moderate pain: reduces pain intensity and improves functional ability. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature. - Osteoarthritis: alleviates joint pain and improves mobility. - Rheumatoid arthritis: decreases inflammation and pain in affected joints. - Inflammatory conditions: reduces swelling and discomfort.

Ibuprofen may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to serious.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, dyspepsia, or abdominal discomfort. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness: transient light‑headedness. - Rash: mild skin irritation or erythema. - Diarrhea: loose stools without blood. - Elevated liver enzymes: mild, transient changes.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation. - Renal impairment or acute kidney injury. - Hepatotoxicity with marked liver enzyme elevation. - Severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. - Cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction or stroke. - Blood dyscrasias such as thrombocytopenia.

When using Ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures. - Assess renal function: monitor kidney parameters in patients with pre‑existing renal disease. - Evaluate gastrointestinal risk: use the lowest effective dose and consider gastro‑protective agents in high‑risk individuals. - Avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. - Use caution in cardiovascular disease: NSAIDs may increase risk of thrombotic events. - Limit use during the third trimester of pregnancy: may affect fetal cardiovascular function. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and heat.

Ibuprofen can interact with several medicines; awareness of major and moderate interactions helps minimize risk.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or COX‑2 inhibitors: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - High‑dose aspirin: enhanced renal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): heightened bleeding risk. - Lithium: ibuprofen may increase lithium serum levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: may reduce renal function. - Diuretics: potential for reduced efficacy and renal impairment. - Methotrexate: decreased clearance leading to toxicity. - Corticosteroids: increased risk of gastrointestinal ulceration.
