Ibuprofen belongs to the NSAID class and is used to manage conditions involving pain, fever and inflammation.

Pain: Reduces mild to moderate pain such as headache, dental or musculoskeletal discomfort. Fever: Lowers elevated body temperature associated with infectious or inflammatory processes. Inflammation: Decreases swelling and redness in conditions like arthritis or soft‑tissue injury.

Adverse reactions may vary in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea or dyspepsia. - Headache or dizziness. - Mild skin rash or itching. - Elevated blood pressure. - Tinnitus (ringing in the ears). - Diarrhea or constipation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration or perforation. - Acute renal failure or worsening of chronic kidney disease. - Severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Hepatotoxicity with elevated liver enzymes. - Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. - Hematologic abnormalities like thrombocytopenia.

Before using ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures.

Assess gastrointestinal risk: Avoid in patients with a history of ulcers or GI bleeding. Use lowest effective dose: Limit duration and dose to the minimum needed for symptom control. Monitor renal function: Caution in patients with impaired kidney function or dehydration. Avoid in late pregnancy: Contraindicated during the third trimester due to fetal risks. Caution with anticoagulants: Increased bleeding risk when combined with warfarin or similar agents. Store at room temperature: Keep in the original container, protect from moisture and heat.

Ibuprofen can affect the activity of several other medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): Heightened risk of serious bleeding. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: May reduce antihypertensive effect and impair renal function. - Lithium: Increased lithium serum concentrations leading to toxicity. - Methotrexate: Reduced clearance, raising risk of toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): Enhanced bleeding tendency.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: Potential for reduced diuretic efficacy and renal effects. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: Additive GI and renal adverse effects. - Corticosteroids: Increased risk of gastrointestinal ulceration. - Antihypertensive agents: Possible attenuation of blood‑pressure control. - Alcohol: Augments gastric irritation and bleeding risk.
