Ibuprofen acts systemically to reduce pain, fever and inflammation in a range of common conditions.

- Mild to moderate pain: alleviates headache, dental pain, menstrual cramps and musculoskeletal discomfort. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature associated with infections or inflammatory states. - Inflammatory conditions: reduces swelling and pain in arthritis, sprains and strains.

Adverse reactions may range from mild, transient symptoms to serious, potentially life‑threatening events.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal upset: nausea, dyspepsia or abdominal discomfort. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness or vertigo. - Skin rash or mild itching. - Elevated blood pressure in susceptible individuals.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration. - Acute renal impairment or failure. - Severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Hepatotoxicity with elevated liver enzymes. - Cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction or stroke, particularly with high‑dose or prolonged use.

Before using ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess renal function: avoid use in patients with severe kidney disease. - Avoid in active peptic ulcer disease or history of gastrointestinal bleeding. - Use with caution in cardiovascular disease: monitor blood pressure and heart status. - Concomitant anticoagulants: increase bleeding risk; monitor coagulation parameters. - Do not exceed recommended duration: limit use to the shortest effective period. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

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

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): heightened risk of bleeding. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Corticosteroids: increased ulcer risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible decline in renal function. - Diuretics: reduced diuretic efficacy and potential electrolyte imbalance. - Lithium: elevated serum lithium levels, risk of toxicity.
