Ibuprofeno Codramol Farmalider (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen works by reversibly blocking the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are essential for prostaglandin production. Lower prostaglandin levels diminish inflammation, reduce the sensation of pain, and lower the hypothalamic set‑point for body temperature, thereby providing analgesic and antipyretic effects.

The appropriate dose of ibuprofen is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.

Ibuprofen is generally avoided during the third trimester of pregnancy because it may affect fetal cardiovascular function. Use during earlier trimesters should only occur if the prescriber deems it necessary. While limited data exist for breastfeeding, ibuprofen is excreted in small amounts in milk; mothers should consult their clinician 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, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and the necessary import documentation.

Ibuprofen belongs to the NSAID class, offering both analgesic and anti‑inflammatory benefits, unlike acetaminophen which lacks anti‑inflammatory activity. Compared with stronger NSAIDs such as diclofenac, ibuprofen has a slightly lower risk of gastrointestinal complications at standard doses, but all NSAIDs share similar cautions regarding renal function and bleeding.

Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Do not refrigerate or freeze the tablets, and keep them out of reach of children.

The medication is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food may lessen gastrointestinal discomfort. Patients should swallow the tablet whole and avoid crushing or chewing unless directed by a healthcare professional.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, acute kidney injury, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, and increased risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke, especially with high‑dose or prolonged use. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice signs of bleeding, severe rash, or chest pain.

Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active peptic ulcer disease, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or significant renal impairment should avoid ibuprofen. It is also contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy and should be used with caution in the elderly.
