Ibuprofen B. Braun

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Ibuprofen B. Braun, is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an intravenous solution for intravenous use. Approved in the European Union, it treats mild to moderate pain, postoperative pain, fever, and inflammatory conditions in hospital patients.

GNH USA supplies Ibuprofen B. Braun as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, transplant centres, oncology centres and clinics worldwide.

Ibuprofen is an NSAID that reduces pain, fever, and inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.

Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesia for acute or postoperative pain Fever: lowers elevated body temperature Inflammatory conditions: reduces swelling and discomfort in disorders such as arthritis

Adverse reactions to intravenous ibuprofen can range from mild to serious and should be monitored during therapy.

Common Side Effects: - Injection site pain: mild discomfort at the infusion site - Nausea: feeling of queasiness - Dyspepsia: upset stomach or indigestion - Headache: mild to moderate head pain

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Anaphylaxis: severe allergic reaction with airway compromise - Renal impairment: acute kidney injury especially in volume‑depleted patients - Gastrointestinal bleeding: ulceration or hemorrhage in the stomach or intestines

When using intravenous ibuprofen, clinicians should observe several safety precautions to minimise risk. - Renal function: assess baseline kidney function and avoid use in severe renal impairment - Bleeding risk: avoid in patients with active gastrointestinal ulcer or coagulopathy - Cardiovascular disease: use cautiously in patients with heart failure or coronary artery disease - Pregnancy: contraindicated in the third trimester and should be avoided unless benefit outweighs risk - Drug interactions: review concomitant medications, especially other NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and ACE inhibitors - Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake

Ibuprofen may interact with several medicines; understanding the interaction level guides clinical decisions.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of bleeding - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): heightened bleeding tendency - ACE inhibitors or ARBs in patients with renal insufficiency: may worsen kidney function

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Other NSAIDs or COX‑2 inhibitors: additive gastrointestinal toxicity - Diuretics: may reduce renal perfusion when combined - Lithium: ibuprofen can raise lithium serum concentrations
