Frequently asked questions

What is Ibuprofen Kruidvat used for?+
Ibuprofen Kruidvat is an over‑the‑counter NSAID indicated for the temporary relief of mild to moderate pain, reduction of fever, and mitigation of inflammation associated with conditions such as headaches, dental pain, musculoskeletal aches, and minor arthritic discomfort.
How does ibuprofen work in the body?+
Ibuprofen blocks the activity of cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are essential for producing prostaglandins. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it reduces pain signaling, lowers the hypothalamic set‑point for temperature, and limits the inflammatory response.
What is the usual dose of Ibuprofen Kruidvat?+
The appropriate dose of Ibuprofen Kruidvat is determined by a qualified prescriber or pharmacist based on the individual's age, weight, clinical condition, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the specific instructions provided on the product label or by their healthcare professional.

Safety of ibuprofen in pregnancy and lactation is not fully established. It is generally advised to avoid ibuprofen during the third trimester and to consult a healthcare professional before use in any trimester or while breastfeeding to weigh potential risks and benefits.

How does Ibuprofen Kruidvat compare with other NSAIDs?+
Ibuprofen shares a similar mechanism of action with other non‑selective NSAIDs such as naproxen and diclofenac, but it generally has a shorter half‑life, which may allow for more flexible dosing.

The product is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food; however, taking it with food or milk may reduce the likelihood of gastrointestinal discomfort.
What are the most serious risks associated with Ibuprofen Kruidvat?+
Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, renal impairment, and increased cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attack or stroke) especially with high‑dose or prolonged therapy. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, blood in stools, sudden swelling, or difficulty breathing.
Who should not use Ibuprofen Kruidvat?+
Individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulcers, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or advanced renal disease should avoid using ibuprofen. It is also contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy and should be used with caution in the first two trimesters after medical advice.
