Kidofen (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen exerts its effect by non‑selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes. This inhibition blocks the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation, pain, and fever, thereby providing analgesic, antipyretic, and anti‑inflammatory actions.

The appropriate dose of Kidofen is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product labeling without exceeding the recommended amount.

The safety of ibuprofen suppositories during pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using Kidofen to weigh potential risks and benefits.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Kidofen 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.

Kidofen delivers ibuprofen, a widely used NSAID with a well‑characterised safety profile. Compared with naproxen, ibuprofen has a shorter half‑life, allowing more flexible dosing, while offering similar analgesic and anti‑inflammatory efficacy. Unlike acetaminophen, ibuprofen also provides anti‑inflammatory action but carries a higher risk of gastrointestinal irritation.

Kidofen suppositories should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in their original blister pack to protect them from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing in bathrooms or other humid environments.

Kidofen is inserted rectally. The user should wash hands, remove the suppository from its packaging, and gently insert it into the rectum, preferably after a bowel movement. The suppository melts at body temperature, delivering ibuprofen systemically.

Serious adverse events, although uncommon, include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, and impaired kidney function. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience black stools, vomiting blood, rash, swelling of the face or throat, or sudden decrease in urine output.

Kidofen should be avoided by individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or any NSAID, those with active peptic ulcer disease, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or significant renal or hepatic impairment unless directed by a physician. It is also contraindicated in patients taking anticoagulants without medical supervision.
