Ibuprofen Pinewood Laboratories (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen works by blocking the activity of cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are essential for the production of prostaglandins. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, ibuprofen decreases inflammation, lowers pain signals, and helps bring down elevated body temperature.

The specific dose of ibuprofen is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and response to therapy. Healthcare professionals set the appropriate strength, frequency, and duration for each individual case.

Ibuprofen is generally avoided during the third trimester of pregnancy because of potential fetal cardiovascular effects. During the first two trimesters, it should only be used if clearly needed and prescribed by a healthcare provider. It passes into breast milk in small amounts, so lactating mothers should consult their physician before use.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, and will request verification of trade or institutional credentials. After confirmation, the team provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any special handling), and assists with import documentation.

Ibuprofen shares a similar mechanism of action with other non‑selective NSAIDs such as naproxen and diclofenac, but it has a relatively shorter half‑life, which may allow for flexible dosing. Its safety profile is comparable, though individual tolerance, gastrointestinal risk, and cardiovascular considerations can differ among agents.

Ibuprofen tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original packaging to protect from moisture and light, and store out of reach of children. Do not store in damp or excessively hot environments.

Ibuprofen is administered orally, typically as a tablet or capsule that is swallowed whole with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food may reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.

The most serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, acute kidney injury, and increased risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke, especially with high doses or prolonged therapy. Patients should be monitored for these complications.

Ibuprofen should be avoided in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or any other NSAID, those with active peptic ulcer disease, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or significant renal impairment. It is also contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy.
