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

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

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

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, dyspepsia or abdominal discomfort. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness: transient feeling of light‑headedness. - Rash: mild skin irritation or erythema.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation. - Renal impairment or acute kidney injury. - Hepatotoxicity: elevated liver enzymes or hepatitis. - Anaphylaxis or severe allergic reactions. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis.

When using ibuprofen, consider the following precautions to minimize risk.

- Assess renal function: avoid use in patients with severe renal impairment. - Monitor gastrointestinal health: use the lowest effective dose to reduce ulcer risk. - Avoid in known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic reactions occur. - Limit use in cardiovascular disease: NSAIDs may increase risk of thrombotic events. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C, in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Ibuprofen can interact with several medicines; awareness of the interaction level is important.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or COX‑2 inhibitors: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - High‑dose aspirin: enhanced renal and GI adverse effects.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: may reduce renal function. - Diuretics: risk of electrolyte imbalance and renal impairment. - Lithium: ibuprofen can increase lithium serum levels.
