Ibuprofen Stada (Ibuprofen Sodium)

Ibuprofen works by reversibly inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2. This inhibition blocks the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain, fever, and inflammation. Lower prostaglandin levels result in analgesic, antipyretic, and anti‑inflammatory effects.

The appropriate dose of Ibuprofen Stada is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, condition, and response. The prescriber will select the strength and frequency that best balances efficacy with safety, following local prescribing guidelines.

Ibuprofen, like other NSAIDs, should be used with caution during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, because it may affect fetal circulation and renal function. Breastfeeding mothers should consult a healthcare professional, as ibuprofen can be excreted in milk in small amounts.

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, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and necessary import documentation.

Ibuprofen Stada offers a rectal route, which can be advantageous when oral intake is impossible or when rapid systemic absorption is desired. Compared with naproxen, ibuprofen has a shorter half‑life, allowing quicker onset but may require more frequent dosing. Efficacy and safety profiles are broadly similar across NSAIDs when used at recommended doses.

Store Ibuprofen Stada at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the suppositories from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain stability. Keep out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged.

The suppository is inserted rectally, preferably after a bowel movement. The patient should lie on the left side with the right knee drawn toward the chest, gently push the suppository past the anal sphincter using a gloved finger or applicator, and remain lying down for a few minutes to ensure absorption.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe renal impairment, hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, and hepatotoxicity. Patients should be monitored for signs of bleeding, sudden loss of kidney function, rash, or liver dysfunction, and seek immediate medical attention if these occur.

Ibuprofen Stada should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer disease, severe renal or hepatic impairment, and in the third trimester of pregnancy. Caution is also advised for patients on anticoagulants or with uncontrolled hypertension.
