Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Ibuprofen Teva, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as a [strength]/[form] for oral use. It treats pain, fever and inflammation in adults and children as appropriate.

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

Ibuprofen acts systemically to reduce pain, fever and inflammation through cyclo‑oxygenase inhibition. - Pain: provides relief from headaches, dental pain, musculoskeletal discomfort and other mild to moderate pain conditions. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature associated with infection or inflammatory processes. - Inflammatory conditions: alleviates swelling and stiffness in disorders such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

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

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, dyspepsia, or abdominal discomfort. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness or vertigo. - Rash or mild skin irritation. - Elevated blood pressure in susceptible individuals.

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

Before initiating ibuprofen therapy, consider the following safety measures. - Assess gastrointestinal risk: evaluate history of ulcers or bleeding. - Monitor renal function: especially in patients with pre‑existing kidney disease. - Avoid in known hypersensitivity: do not use if allergic to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. - Use lowest effective dose: limit duration to the shortest period needed for symptom control. - Caution in pregnancy: avoid use during the third trimester unless specifically directed by a prescriber. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Ibuprofen can affect the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of several medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding. - Lithium: ibuprofen may raise serum lithium concentrations, risking toxicity. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: concurrent use may impair renal function, especially in volume‑depleted patients.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: monitor renal function and electrolytes. - SSRIs or SNRIs: may increase bleeding tendency, requiring observation.
