Moment (Ibuprofen Sodium Dihydrate)

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Moment, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It provides analgesic, antipyretic, and anti‑inflammatory effects for the temporary relief of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammatory conditions in adults and, when approved, in pediatric patients.

GNH USA supplies Moment as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, with a focus on quality and regulatory compliance.

Ibuprofen is an NSAID that reduces pain, fever, and inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.

Pain: Provides temporary relief of mild to moderate pain such as headache, dental pain, or musculoskeletal discomfort. Fever: Lowers elevated body temperature associated with common infections or inflammatory conditions. Inflammation: Decreases swelling and discomfort in conditions like arthritis, sprains, or minor injuries.

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

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset or dyspepsia - Nausea or vomiting - Headache - Dizziness - Mild skin rash - Elevated blood pressure

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation - Acute renal impairment - Severe hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis - Hepatic injury - Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction

Before using Moment, consider the following precautions.

Assess renal function: monitor patients with existing kidney disease or dehydration. Evaluate gastrointestinal risk: avoid in patients with active ulcers or a history of bleeding. Consider cardiovascular status: use cautiously in patients with hypertension or heart disease. Avoid use in late pregnancy: ibuprofen is contraindicated in the third trimester. Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in the original packaging, and protect from moisture.

Ibuprofen can interact with other medicines; review the following categories.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or COX‑2 inhibitors: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): heightened bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: may reduce renal function. - Methotrexate: decreased clearance leading to toxicity.
