Ibuprofen S&r (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen works by non‑selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels decrease pain signalling, lower the hypothalamic set‑point for temperature, and limit inflammatory processes.

The appropriate dose of ibuprofen is determined by a prescriber or according to the product label. Dosage depends on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and response, and should never exceed the maximum daily amount recommended on the packaging.

Safety of ibuprofen in pregnancy and lactation is not fully established. It should be used only if clearly needed and after consultation with a healthcare professional, especially during the third trimester or while nursing, where alternative therapies may be preferred.

GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Ibuprofen provides analgesic, antipyretic and anti‑inflammatory effects, whereas acetaminophen (paracetamol) offers mainly analgesic and antipyretic actions without significant anti‑inflammatory activity. Ibuprofen also carries a higher risk of gastrointestinal and renal side effects, while acetaminophen is associated with hepatic toxicity at excessive doses.

Store Ibuprofen S&r at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original container, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain stability and potency.

Ibuprofen S&r is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food; however, taking it with food or milk may reduce the likelihood of gastrointestinal discomfort.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation, acute kidney injury, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, and cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke, particularly with high‑dose or prolonged use.

Individuals with active peptic ulcer disease, severe renal or hepatic impairment, known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, and those in the third trimester of pregnancy should avoid ibuprofen unless directed by a healthcare professional.
