Ibuprofen is an NSAID that works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, reducing inflammation and pain across several conditions.

- Headache: provides relief from mild to moderate headache pain. - Dental pain: alleviates discomfort after dental procedures. - Menstrual pain: reduces dysmenorrhea associated cramping. - Musculoskeletal pain: eases aches in muscles and joints. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature.

Common side effects are generally mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea - Dyspepsia - Heartburn - Dizziness - Headache - Rash

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation - Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) - Acute kidney injury - Elevated liver enzymes - Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction - Blood clotting disorders

Use ibuprofen with caution in specific populations and clinical situations.

- Assess gastrointestinal risk: avoid in patients with active ulcers or a history of GI bleeding. - Monitor renal function: use cautiously in individuals with impaired kidney function. - Contraindicated in third‑trimester pregnancy: avoid use during late pregnancy. - Use with caution in asthma: may trigger bronchospasm in susceptible patients. - Limit use in cardiovascular disease: may increase risk of thrombotic events. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Ibuprofen can interact with several drug classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Corticosteroids: heightened ulcer risk. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: may reduce renal function. - Lithium: increased lithium serum levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: possible renal effects. - Methotrexate: reduced clearance leading to toxicity. - SSRIs: increased bleeding tendency. - Blood pressure medications: may affect control. - Antidiabetic agents: potential impact on glucose regulation.
