Ibuprofen is an NSAID that reduces pain, fever, and inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.

- Headache: provides relief of mild to moderate headache pain. - Musculoskeletal pain: reduces pain and swelling associated with strains, sprains and arthritis. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in febrile conditions.

What precautions apply to Ibuprofen?

Before using Ibuprofen S&r, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess gastrointestinal risk: avoid in patients with active ulcers or a history of GI bleeding. - Monitor renal function: use cautiously in those with renal impairment. - Avoid concurrent anticoagulants: increased risk of bleeding. - Limit use in cardiovascular disease: may raise risk of thrombotic events. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and heat.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ibuprofen S&r used for?+
Ibuprofen S&r is an over‑the‑counter NSAID indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain, reduction of fever, and control of inflammation associated with conditions such as headache, musculoskeletal aches, and febrile illnesses.
How does ibuprofen work?+
Ibuprofen works by non‑selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels decrease pain signalling, lower the hypothalamic set‑point for temperature, and limit inflammatory processes.
What is the usual dose of ibuprofen?+
The appropriate dose of ibuprofen is determined by a prescriber or according to the product label. Dosage depends on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and response, and should never exceed the maximum daily amount recommended on the packaging.
Is ibuprofen safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of ibuprofen in pregnancy and lactation is not fully established. It should be used only if clearly needed and after consultation with a healthcare professional, especially during the third trimester or while nursing, where alternative therapies may be preferred.
How do I order Ibuprofen S&r from GNH USA?+
To order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does ibuprofen compare with acetaminophen?+
Ibuprofen provides analgesic, antipyretic and anti‑inflammatory effects, whereas acetaminophen (paracetamol) offers mainly analgesic and antipyretic actions without significant anti‑inflammatory activity. Ibuprofen also carries a higher risk of gastrointestinal and renal side effects, while acetaminophen is associated with hepatic toxicity at excessive doses.
How should Ibuprofen S&r be stored?+
Store Ibuprofen S&r at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original container, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain stability and potency.
How is Ibuprofen S&r administered?+
Ibuprofen S&r is taken orally, usually with a 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 to watch for?+
Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation, acute kidney injury, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, and cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke, particularly with high‑dose or prolonged use.
Who should not use ibuprofen?+
Individuals with active peptic ulcer disease, severe renal or hepatic impairment, known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, and those in the third trimester of pregnancy should avoid ibuprofen unless directed by a healthcare professional.
