Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID). It efficiently relieves pain and inflammation in muscular discomfort, joint pain, menstruation pain, toothache, or mild injury. Ibuprofen is safe to use in adults and children over the age of six months.

How does Ibuprofen work?

Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the production of particular chemical messengers that produce heat, discomfort, and inflammation (redness and swelling). Thus, it lowers hormones that cause inflammation and discomfort in the body.

Dosage & Administration

• Ibuprofen should be used as indicated on the label or as prescribed by a doctor. The lowest effective dosage for your condition should be administered.
• An overdose might harm your stomach or intestines. Adults should not exceed 800 milligrammes or 3200 mg daily (4 maximum doses). The child’s age and weight determine the dose for a child.
• To avoid stomach problems, use Ibuprofen with food or milk. The pill can be chewed before swallowing.
• Indigestion therapies (antacids) should be avoided within 2 hours after using Ibuprofen.
• Consuming alcohol while taking Ibuprofen may raise the risk of gastrointestinal issues.
• Store at room temperature, free from moisture and heat. Do not allow the liquid medication to freeze.

Side Effects

The observed side effects are as follows:

• Nausea, vomiting, flatulence, bleeding or disorientation, and headaches are all common side effects. Others symptoms may be an Ibuprofen allergy or a severe skin response (fever, sore throat, burning eyes).

• In the event of a heart attack or stroke, get immediate medical attention. Be cautious of the following symptoms: chest discomfort that spreads to your jaw or shoulder, abrupt numbness or weakness on one side of your body, slurred speech, leg swelling, or shortness of breath.
• The medication should be discontinued if you have visual changes, swelling, nausea, upper stomach pain, or weariness. Symptoms may include flu-like symptoms, loss of appetite, high heart rate, difficulty focusing, or renal issues – little or no urine, painful or difficult urination, and swelling in your feet or ankles.

Warnings

• Ibuprofen might increase your chance of having a deadly heart attack or stroke. The medication should be avoided before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
• Ibuprofen may potentially induce deadly stomach or intestinal haemorrhage.
• Do not exceed the suggested dose. An ibuprofen overdose might harm your stomach or intestines. Use the minimum quantity of medicine required to relieve your pain, swelling, or temperature.
• See your doctor if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, bleeding, or asthma.

In summary, Ibuprofen is considered safe for most individuals as an analgesic. Before using the medication, any existing health issues should be discussed with the doctor.
