Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. It is commonly used to treat pain, lower fever, and reduce swelling associated with conditions such as headaches, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, and arthritis.
Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which cause inflammation, pain, and swelling.
Prostaglandins are chemicals released during injury, illness, and surgery that cause pain, inflammation, and swelling. Ibuprofen blocks the production of these chemicals.
This reduces the symptoms of pain and reduces swelling.
Common side effects of ibuprofen may include:
Ibuprofen is available as tablets or capsules. The recommended dose of ibuprofen for adults is one or 200 mg tablets, taken as needed, every 4 to 6 hours. This may be increased to a maximum dose of 400 mg every 4 to 6 hours in some cases.
If you have any questions about taking ibuprofen, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist. It is important to follow the instructions on the packaging or use the medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.
Ibuprofen may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, and vomiting. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking ibuprofen and seek medical help immediately. It is important to take ibuprofen with food to reduce stomach upset.
Heart disease, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol are other potential side effects of ibuprofen. It is important to take ibuprofen with caution if you have had heart surgery, including heart bypass surgery, to reduce the risk of complications.
Taking ibuprofen with other medicines can increase the risk of side effects including dizziness, fainting, and stomach problems. These can be avoided by taking Ibuprofen with caution if you are taking medicines called nitrates.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ibuprofen should not be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding mothers should not take it.
It is not recommended for use during pregnancy except under the guidance of a doctor. Ibuprofen can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. If you are taking Ibuprofen during the last three months of pregnancy, Ibuprofen should be used with caution.
