Ibuprofen acts on inflammatory pathways to relieve pain and reduce fever. - Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesic relief for headaches, dental pain, musculoskeletal discomfort. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature. - Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis: alleviates joint inflammation and stiffness. - Dysmenorrhea: eases menstrual cramps.

Adverse reactions may vary in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, dyspepsia, or heartburn. - Headache or dizziness. - Mild rash or itching. - Elevated blood pressure. - Fluid retention or mild edema.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcer perforation, or hemorrhage. - Acute renal impairment or failure. - Severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis or angioedema. - Hepatotoxicity with elevated liver enzymes. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction or stroke.

Before using ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures. - Assess renal function: adjust use in patients with impaired kidney function. - Monitor gastrointestinal risk: avoid in individuals with active ulcers or a history of GI bleeding. - Avoid concurrent NSAIDs: combined use increases bleeding and ulcer risk. - Use caution in cardiovascular disease: may elevate risk of thrombotic events. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and heat.

Ibuprofen can interact with several medicines; review the following categories.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): heightened gastrointestinal bleeding. - Lithium: ibuprofen may raise lithium serum levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Corticosteroids: additive risk of ulceration. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: may impair renal function when combined. - Methotrexate: ibuprofen can reduce clearance, increasing toxicity.
