Ibuprofen acts on inflammatory pathways to relieve several common conditions. - Pain: Provides analgesic relief for mild to moderate acute or chronic pain. - Fever: Reduces elevated body temperature associated with infectious or inflammatory processes. - Inflammation: Decreases swelling and redness in musculoskeletal injuries. - Arthritis: Alleviates joint pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Adverse reactions may vary in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: Mild to moderate upset stomach. - Dyspepsia: Indigestion or heartburn. - Headache: Transient cranial discomfort. - Dizziness: Light‑headed sensation. - Diarrhoea: Loose stools. - Abdominal pain: Cramping or tenderness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration. - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis, angioedema). - Acute kidney injury or reduced renal function. - Hepatic enzyme elevation or liver injury. - Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke (rare).

Before using ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures. - Renal assessment: Evaluate kidney function in patients with chronic renal disease. - Gastro‑intestinal risk: Avoid in individuals with a history of ulcer or GI bleeding unless protected. - Dose minimisation: Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration needed. - Hypersensitivity: Discontinue if signs of allergic reaction appear. - Elderly monitoring: Adjust use in older adults due to increased susceptibility to adverse effects. - Store at ambient temperature: Keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Ibuprofen can affect the activity of several other medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): Increased risk of serious bleeding. - Other NSAIDs or high‑dose aspirin: Additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: May reduce antihypertensive effect and impair renal function.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: Potential for reduced diuretic efficacy and renal impairment. - Methotrexate: May increase methotrexate toxicity, especially at high doses.
