Ibuprofen acts as an NSAID to manage symptoms associated with inflammatory and febrile conditions. - Pain: provides analgesia for mild to moderate musculoskeletal, dental and headache pain. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in febrile illnesses. - Inflammation: reduces swelling and discomfort in conditions such as arthritis or minor injuries.

Adverse reactions may vary in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, dyspepsia or abdominal discomfort. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness: transient sensation of light‑headedness. - Rash: mild skin irritation or erythema. - Elevated blood pressure: modest increase in some patients.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration. - Severe allergic reactions: anaphylaxis, angioedema. - Hepatic injury: elevated liver enzymes or hepatitis. - Renal impairment: acute kidney injury or worsening chronic kidney disease. - Cardiovascular events: myocardial infarction or stroke, particularly with high‑dose or prolonged use.

Before using ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures. - Cardiovascular risk: avoid high‑dose or long‑term use in patients with heart disease. - Gastrointestinal history: use cautiously in individuals with ulcers or bleeding disorders. - Renal function: monitor kidney function in patients with existing renal impairment. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in original packaging, and protect from moisture.

Ibuprofen can affect the activity of several other medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding. - High‑dose aspirin: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective COX‑2 inhibitors: additive renal and cardiovascular risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in antihypertensive effect. - Diuretics: may diminish diuretic efficacy and affect kidney function. - Lithium: ibuprofen can raise serum lithium levels, requiring monitoring.
