Ibuprofen, an NSAID, is used to manage conditions involving pain, fever and inflammation.

Pain: Reduces mild to moderate pain such as headache, dental discomfort, or musculoskeletal aches. Fever: Lowers elevated body temperature associated with febrile illnesses. Inflammation: Decreases swelling and inflammation in minor injuries or arthritic conditions.

Common Side Effects: - Dyspepsia or stomach upset - Heartburn or acid reflux - Nausea or vomiting - Dizziness or light‑headedness - Headache - Mild skin rash

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation - Severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis - Acute kidney injury or reduced renal function - Liver enzyme elevations or hepatitis - Cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction or stroke - Blood disorders such as thrombocytopenia

When using ibuprofen, consider the following precautions: - Assess renal function: avoid in severe kidney disease. - Monitor gastrointestinal risk: use with food in patients with ulcer history. - Avoid in third‑trimester pregnancy: risk to the fetus. - Use caution with anticoagulants: increased bleeding risk. - Do not exceed recommended dose: risk of toxicity. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Ibuprofen may interact with several medicines; review the following categories.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) – heightened bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin – additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Corticosteroids – increased ulcer risk. - Lithium – elevated lithium levels. - Methotrexate – reduced clearance leading to toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs – possible renal function decline. - Diuretics – potential reduction in antihypertensive effect. - SSRIs – modest increase in bleeding tendency. - Beta‑blockers – may blunt antihypertensive response. - Antihypertensives – possible attenuation of blood pressure control.
