Clinical Overview

Ibuprofen Tablets (200mg, 400mg) is an oral propionic acid derivative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It reversibly and non-selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 enzymes, blocking synthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins. Displays the most favorable gastrointestinal toxicity profile among non-selective NSAIDs at OTC analgesic doses (<=1200 mg/day). Indicated for mild-to-moderate pain (headache, dental pain, dysmenorrhea, backache), fever, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

General Administration Advice: Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and treatment course. For oral medications, swallow with sufficient water. Never stop antibiotics, psychiatric medications, or antihypertensives abruptly without clinical direction.

Common: Heartburn, dyspepsia, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dizziness. Rare/Severe: Peptic ulceration and gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular thrombotic events, acute kidney injury, and bronchospasm in aspirin-sensitive patients.

*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.
