Ibuprom, Vaikams (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen inhibits the cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2, decreasing the synthesis of prostaglandins that mediate pain, inflammation and fever. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it provides analgesic, antipyretic and anti‑inflammatory effects.

The specific dose of Ibuprom, Vaikams is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the indication, patient age, weight and renal/hepatic function. The prescriber selects the appropriate strength and dosing interval according to clinical guidelines.

Ibuprofen is generally avoided during the third trimester of pregnancy because it may affect fetal cardiovascular function. Use in the first two trimesters should be under medical supervision. It is excreted in breast milk in small amounts; breastfeeding mothers should consult a physician before use.

Ibuprofen shares the same COX‑inhibiting mechanism as other non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs such as naproxen or diclofenac, but it has a relatively short half‑life and a favorable gastrointestinal safety profile at lower doses. Choice of NSAID depends on the clinical situation, patient comorbidities and risk‑benefit assessment.

Store at room 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 label.

The product is supplied as oral tablets that are taken with a full glass of water. It may be taken with or without food; taking it with food can reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. The exact dosing schedule is set by the prescriber.

Serious adverse events include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation, severe renal impairment, hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, and rare skin reactions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience vomiting blood, severe abdominal pain, swelling, or rash.

Ibuprofen is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulceration, severe heart failure, or in the third trimester of pregnancy. Caution is also advised for patients with impaired renal or hepatic function, and for those taking anticoagulants.
