How does ibuprofen work?
Ibuprofen belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, effectively reducing pain, inflammation, and fever. It targets specific enzymes involved in the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for these symptoms.

Directions for ibuprofen use
Ibuprofen should be taken exactly as directed on the product packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional. It is usually taken with food or milk to help minimize stomach upset. Topical forms should be applied to the affected area as directed.

- Ibuprofen should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible to minimize the risk of side effects
- Asthma and aspirin sensitivity should be taken into consideration before the use of NSAIDs

Drug interactions
Common drugs that interact with ibuprofen include blood thinners, such as warfarin, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like aspirin. These interactions can increase the risk of bleeding and may potentiate side effects.
Taking ibuprofen along with certain medications can lead to potential side effects. For example, combining it with antidepressants or corticosteroids may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Similarly, using ibuprofen alongside diuretics or ACE inhibitors could reduce their effectiveness in managing high blood pressure.
To minimize risks when taking ibuprofen along with other medications, it is important to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide guidance on appropriate dosages and help identify potential interactions based on individual medical history and current medication regimen.
Always inform your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and OTC (over-the-counter) medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Additionally, reading medication labels carefully and reporting any adverse effects to healthcare providers is crucial for the safe usage of ibuprofen alongside other drugs.

Ibuprofen is generally not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester. Consultation with a healthcare provider is necessary to discuss alternative pain relief options.

Common side effects of ibuprofen may include stomach upset, heartburn, nausea, dizziness, and allergic reactions. These temporary discomforts may occur after taking the medication but usually subside quickly. It is important to consult a healthcare professional if these side effects persist or worsen over time.
