Nurofen Lemon (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in Nurofen Lemon, is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an oral formulation for oral use. It is commonly employed to relieve mild to moderate pain, reduce fever, and lessen inflammation in adults and children when appropriate.

GNH USA supplies Nurofen Lemon as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Ibuprofen acts systemically to modulate inflammatory pathways, providing relief across several common conditions.

- Headache: reduces pain intensity and improves daily functioning. - Dental pain: alleviates post‑extraction or procedural discomfort. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature associated with infection or inflammation.

Adverse reactions may occur with ibuprofen use and are categorised by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Stomach upset or dyspepsia. - Nausea or mild vomiting. - Headache. - Dizziness. - Mild skin rash.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration. - Severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. - Kidney impairment or reduced renal function. - Elevated liver enzymes indicating hepatic stress. - Cardiovascular events like hypertension or thrombotic episodes.

When using ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess medical history: confirm no prior ulcer disease, bleeding disorders, or severe heart failure. - Review concurrent medications: avoid use with other NSAIDs or anticoagulants without professional guidance. - Monitor renal function: especially in patients with chronic kidney disease or dehydration. - Limit duration: use the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary period. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in original packaging, and protect from moisture.

Ibuprofen can affect the activity of several other medicines; interactions vary in clinical significance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding. - High‑dose aspirin: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity. - Certain antihypertensives (e.g., ACE inhibitors, ARBs): may reduce blood‑pressure control.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): modestly increased bleeding risk. - Lithium: potential for elevated lithium levels. - Methotrexate (high dose): reduced renal clearance leading to toxicity.
