Nurofen Comprimés Fondants (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen acts on inflammatory pathways to provide analgesic and antipyretic effects.

• Headache: helps reduce pain and discomfort associated with tension‑type or migraine onset.
• Dental pain: eases post‑extraction or procedural discomfort.
• Musculoskeletal pain: alleviates aches from strains, sprains and minor arthritis flares.
• Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in febrile conditions.

• Ibuprofen inhibits cyclo‑oxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes, decreasing the synthesis of prostaglandins that mediate inflammation, pain and fever. This reduction in prostaglandin levels leads to the drug’s analgesic, antipyretic and anti‑inflammatory actions.

Adverse reactions may range from mild to severe and should be monitored during therapy.

When using ibuprofen, consider the following safety measures:

• Assess risk of gastrointestinal bleeding: patients with a history of ulcers should use caution.
• Monitor cardiovascular risk: especially if used long‑term or at high doses.
• Evaluate renal function: check baseline creatinine in patients with kidney disease.
• Review concomitant medications: avoid combining with other NSAIDs or anticoagulants.
• Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack and protect from moisture.
