What is Ibuprofen Sodium?

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Ibuprofen Stada, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as a suppository for rectal use. It treats mild to moderate pain, fever, inflammatory conditions and dysmenorrhea in adults and children as appropriate.

GNH USA supplies Ibuprofen Stada as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Ibuprofen Sodium used for?

Ibuprofen Stada, an NSAID, provides analgesic, antipyretic and anti‑inflammatory effects by reducing prostaglandin synthesis.

Mild to moderate pain: alleviates discomfort from musculoskeletal, dental or postoperative sources. Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in febrile states. Inflammatory conditions (e.g., arthritis, dysmenorrhea): decreases swelling and pain related to inflammation.

What are the side effects of Ibuprofen Sodium?

Ibuprofen Stada may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, dyspepsia, abdominal pain. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness: transient sensation of light‑headedness. - Skin reactions: mild rash or itching.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration: potentially life‑threatening hemorrhage. - Renal impairment: acute kidney injury, especially with dehydration. - Severe hypersensitivity: anaphylaxis, angioedema. - Hepatotoxicity: elevated liver enzymes or hepatitis.

What precautions apply to Ibuprofen Sodium?

Before using Ibuprofen Stada, consider the following precautions.

Assess renal function: avoid use in patients with severe kidney disease. Monitor gastrointestinal risk: use with caution in history of ulcers or bleeding. Avoid in late pregnancy: NSAIDs may affect fetal circulation. Use lowest effective dose: limit duration to the shortest necessary. Check for drug interactions: review concomitant anticoagulants, antihypertensives, other NSAIDs. Store at room temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and heat.

What does Ibuprofen Sodium interact with?

Ibuprofen Stada can interact with several medicines; review them with a healthcare professional.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): heightened bleeding potential.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: may reduce renal function. - Diuretics: risk of renal impairment and electrolyte imbalance. - Lithium: NSAIDs can increase lithium levels.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ibuprofen Stada used for?+
Ibuprofen Stada is a rectal suppository containing ibuprofen sodium. It is indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain, reduction of fever, and management of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or dysmenorrhea. The formulation allows systemic absorption when oral administration is not feasible.
How does ibuprofen work?+
Ibuprofen works by reversibly inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2. This inhibition blocks the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain, fever, and inflammation. Lower prostaglandin levels result in analgesic, antipyretic, and anti‑inflammatory effects.
What is the usual dose of Ibuprofen Stada?+
The appropriate dose of Ibuprofen Stada is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, condition, and response. The prescriber will select the strength and frequency that best balances efficacy with safety, following local prescribing guidelines.
Is Ibuprofen Stada safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Ibuprofen, like other NSAIDs, should be used with caution during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, because it may affect fetal circulation and renal function. Breastfeeding mothers should consult a healthcare professional, as ibuprofen can be excreted in milk in small amounts.
How do I order Ibuprofen Stada from GNH USA?+
To place an 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 (including any cold‑chain requirements) and necessary import documentation.
How does Ibuprofen Stada compare with other NSAIDs?+
Ibuprofen Stada offers a rectal route, which can be advantageous when oral intake is impossible or when rapid systemic absorption is desired. Compared with naproxen, ibuprofen has a shorter half‑life, allowing quicker onset but may require more frequent dosing. Efficacy and safety profiles are broadly similar across NSAIDs when used at recommended doses.
How should Ibuprofen Stada be stored and handled?+
Store Ibuprofen Stada at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the suppositories from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain stability. Keep out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged.
How is the suppository administered?+
The suppository is inserted rectally, preferably after a bowel movement. The patient should lie on the left side with the right knee drawn toward the chest, gently push the suppository past the anal sphincter using a gloved finger or applicator, and remain lying down for a few minutes to ensure absorption.
What are the most serious risks associated with Ibuprofen Stada?+
Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe renal impairment, hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, and hepatotoxicity. Patients should be monitored for signs of bleeding, sudden loss of kidney function, rash, or liver dysfunction, and seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
Who should not use Ibuprofen Stada?+
Ibuprofen Stada should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer disease, severe renal or hepatic impairment, and in the third trimester of pregnancy. Caution is also advised for patients on anticoagulants or with uncontrolled hypertension.
