Ibuprofen/Phenylephrine Opella (Phenylephrine Hydrochloride, Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen blocks cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, reducing prostaglandin production, which lowers inflammation, pain, and fever. Phenylephrine stimulates alpha‑1 receptors, tightening nasal blood vessels to ease congestion.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, severity of symptoms, and other medications. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.

Safety has not been established. Ibuprofen is generally avoided in the third trimester, and phenylephrine is not recommended without medical advice. Pregnant, planning‑pregnant, or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use.

Compared with single‑ingredient ibuprofen tablets, this combination adds phenylephrine to address nasal congestion, offering dual symptom relief. Unlike acetaminophen, ibuprofen provides anti‑inflammatory effects but shares similar NSAID cautions. Choice depends on whether congestion is a concurrent symptom.

Store at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date printed on the pack.

The medication is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It may be taken with or without food; taking it with food can reduce stomach irritation. Follow the dosage instructions provided by the prescriber.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, marked hypertension, and renal impairment. If symptoms like severe stomach pain, vomiting blood, rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty occur, seek medical attention immediately.

People with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen, phenylephrine, or any NSAID, those with active peptic ulcer disease, uncontrolled hypertension, significant heart failure, or who are taking anticoagulants without medical supervision should avoid this product. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential.
