Before using ibuprofen, consider the following precautions.

Assess medical history: check for ulcers, heart disease, kidney or liver disorders. Avoid in known hypersensitivity: do not use if allergic to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. Use lowest effective dose: limit duration and dose to the minimum needed for symptom control. Monitor for signs of GI bleeding: report black stools or vomiting blood promptly. Avoid concurrent anticoagulant use unless directed by a clinician. Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Ibuprofen can interact with several medicines, requiring caution.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of bleeding. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: potential reduction in renal function. - Lithium: elevated lithium serum levels. - Methotrexate: heightened toxicity risk. - SSRIs or SNRIs: amplified bleeding tendency.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: possible renal effects. - Beta‑blockers: may diminish antihypertensive response. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal risk.
