Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Ibuprofen Elac, is a nonsteroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It is used to relieve pain, reduce fever, and diminish inflammation in adults and children when appropriate.

The company adheres to European Union quality standards and provides batch‑tested product for global distribution, ensuring consistent potency and safety for patients across markets.

Ibuprofen acts by inhibiting cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes, providing relief in several painful or inflammatory conditions. - Pain: reduces mild to moderate pain such as headache, dental pain, or musculoskeletal discomfort. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature associated with infections or inflammatory states. - Inflammation: diminishes swelling and stiffness in conditions like sprains or bursitis. - Arthritis: alleviates joint pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. - Dysmenorrhea: eases menstrual cramps by reducing uterine prostaglandin production.

Ibuprofen may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild and transient to serious but uncommon. Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, dyspepsia, or abdominal pain. - Headache: mild to moderate tension‑type headache. - Dizziness: transient light‑headedness or vertigo. - Rash: mild skin erythema or itching. - Edema: mild swelling of extremities. Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Peptic ulcer disease: gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation. - Renal impairment: acute kidney injury or reduced renal function. - Hepatotoxicity: elevated liver enzymes or hepatitis. - Anaphylaxis: severe allergic reaction with airway compromise. - Blood dyscrasias: thrombocytopenia or leukopenia.

Before using Ibuprofen Elac, consider the following safety measures to minimise risk. - Assess renal function: avoid use in patients with severe kidney disease. - Evaluate gastrointestinal risk: use with caution in those with ulcer history. - Monitor cardiovascular status: limit use in patients with heart failure or hypertension. - Review concomitant medications: avoid concurrent use with other NSAIDs or anticoagulants without medical advice. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, in the original container, protected from moisture and light.

Ibuprofen can interact with several medicines, altering efficacy or safety. Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - High‑dose aspirin: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): elevated risk of GI bleeding. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in antihypertensive effect and renal function. Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: may diminish diuretic response and affect kidney function. - Lithium: ibuprofen can raise lithium serum levels. - Methotrexate: reduced clearance leading to toxicity.
