Nurofen (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Nurofen, is a Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It treats mild to moderate pain, reduces fever, and alleviates inflammation in adults and children when appropriate.

Before using Nurofen, consider the following precautions: - Known hypersensitivity: avoid if allergic to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. - Gastrointestinal ulcer disease: use with caution and monitor for bleeding. - Renal impairment: adjust use and monitor kidney function. - Cardiovascular disease: assess risk of thrombotic events. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Ibuprofen can interact with several medicines. Review the following categories:

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity. - ACE inhibitors (e.g., enalapril): may reduce renal function.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics (e.g., furosemide): potential reduction in diuretic efficacy. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (e.g., sertraline): may increase bleeding tendency.
