Ibuprofen is an NSAID that acts on inflammatory and pain pathways, providing relief in several common conditions.

- Mild to moderate pain: Reduces pain perception and improves functional comfort. - Fever: Lowers elevated body temperature by acting on the hypothalamic set point. - Osteoarthritis: Alleviates joint discomfort and improves mobility. - Rheumatoid arthritis: Decreases inflammatory swelling and pain in affected joints. - Dental pain: Provides rapid analgesia after dental procedures.

Adverse reactions may occur with ibuprofen use and are categorized by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, dyspepsia, or abdominal discomfort. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness: transient sensations of light‑headedness. - Skin rash: mild erythema or pruritus.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding: melena, hematemesis, or severe abdominal pain. - Renal impairment: reduced urine output or elevated creatinine. - Severe allergic reactions: angioedema, bronchospasm, or anaphylaxis.

Before using ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures.

- Cardiovascular risk: Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration in patients with heart disease. - Gastrointestinal history: Avoid in individuals with active ulcers or a history of GI bleeding. - Renal function: Monitor kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease. - Pregnancy and lactation: Discuss risks with a healthcare professional before use. - Concomitant medications: Review all current drugs for potential interactions. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in original packaging, and protect from moisture.

Ibuprofen can interact with several drug classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding. - High‑dose aspirin: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): elevated bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in antihypertensive effect and renal function. - Diuretics: may diminish diuretic efficacy and affect kidney function. - Lithium: ibuprofen can raise lithium serum concentrations.
