Ibuprofen acts systemically to alleviate conditions associated with pain, fever, and inflammation.

- Pain: Reduces mild to moderate acute pain such as headache, dental pain, or musculoskeletal discomfort. - Fever: Lowers elevated body temperature in febrile states. - Inflammation: Decreases swelling and stiffness in conditions like arthritis or soft‑tissue injury.

Adverse reactions may range from mild to severe and should be monitored during therapy.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: Stomach upset or queasiness. - Dyspepsia: Indigestion or heartburn. - Headache: Mild to moderate head pain. - Dizziness: Sensation of light‑headedness. - Rash: Minor skin irritation or redness. - Diarrhoea: Loose stools.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding: Blood in stool or vomit. - Peptic ulcer perforation: Severe abdominal pain. - Renal impairment: Decreased urine output or swelling. - Severe allergic reaction: Swelling of face, lips, or throat. - Hepatic enzyme elevation: Abnormal liver function tests. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: Blistering skin rash.

Before initiating therapy, consider patient‑specific risk factors and follow safe handling practices. - Assess gastrointestinal risk: Evaluate history of ulcers or bleeding before use. - Monitor renal function: Check kidney parameters in patients with existing renal disease. - Use lowest effective dose: Limit duration to the shortest period needed for symptom control. - Avoid in known hypersensitivity: Discontinue if allergic reactions occur. - Store at ambient temperature: Keep below 25 °C in the original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

Ibuprofen can interact with several drug classes, requiring careful review of the patient’s medication list.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): Increased risk of bleeding. - Other NSAIDs: Additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Corticosteroids: Heightened ulcer risk. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: Potential for reduced renal function. - Lithium: Elevated lithium levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antihypertensives: May blunt blood‑pressure‑lowering effect. - Diuretics: Possible reduction in renal perfusion. - Methotrexate: Decreased clearance, raising toxicity. - SSRIs: Slightly increased bleeding tendency. - Oral hypoglycemics: May affect glucose control.
