Ibuprofen Arrow

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Ibuprofen Arrow, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as a topical formulation for external use. It provides pain relief and reduces inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions for adults.

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

Ibuprofen Arrow is an NSAID applied to the skin to manage pain and inflammation in the musculoskeletal system. - Musculoskeletal pain: alleviates discomfort from strains, sprains and overuse injuries. - Joint inflammation: reduces swelling and stiffness in arthritic joints. - Minor soft‑tissue injuries: eases pain and redness from bruises or minor cuts.

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

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation: mild redness or warmth at the application site. - Burning sensation: transient heat feeling after spreading the product. - Itching: occasional pruritus localized to the treated area. - Dryness: slight flaking of the skin where the gel is applied. - Rash: non‑allergic erythematous patches.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: hives, swelling of face or throat, or difficulty breathing. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: severe skin blistering and detachment. - Systemic toxicity: rare but possible if large areas are covered, leading to gastrointestinal upset. - Contact dermatitis: persistent eczema‑like inflammation. - Photosensitivity: heightened skin reaction to sunlight.

When using Ibuprofen Arrow, consider the following safety measures. - Application area: limit use to intact skin and avoid mucous membranes. - Surface area: do not cover more than 10% of body surface at one time. - Age restriction: intended for adult use; consult a healthcare professional for pediatric considerations. - Concomitant NSAIDs: avoid using other NSAID products simultaneously to reduce systemic exposure. - Pre‑existing skin conditions: refrain from use on eczema, psoriasis or open wounds. - Store below 25°C: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Ibuprofen Arrow may interact with other medicines, especially systemic NSAIDs and agents affecting coagulation.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Oral anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of bleeding. - Systemic NSAIDs: additive gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. - Corticosteroids: heightened risk of ulceration.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in renal function. - Diuretics: may enhance renal adverse effects. - Lithium: potential increase in lithium serum levels. - Methotrexate: reduced clearance leading to toxicity.
