Indications & Clinical Uses

Ibuprofen is an NSAID that works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, reducing inflammation and pain across several conditions.

  • Headache: provides relief from mild to moderate headache pain.
  • Dental pain: alleviates discomfort after dental procedures.
  • Menstrual pain: reduces dysmenorrhea associated cramping.
  • Musculoskeletal pain: eases aches in muscles and joints.
  • Fever: lowers elevated body temperature.

How It Works

  • Ibuprofen exerts its effect by reversibly inhibiting both cyclooxygenase‑1 (COX‑1) and cyclooxygenase‑2 (COX‑2) enzymes, which catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. The resulting decrease in prostaglandin synthesis diminishes inflammation, pain signaling, and fever generation.

Side Effects

Common side effects are generally mild and transient.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea
  • Dyspepsia
  • Heartburn
  • Dizziness
  • Headache
  • Rash

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation
  • Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
  • Acute kidney injury
  • Elevated liver enzymes
  • Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction
  • Blood clotting disorders

Precautions & Warnings

Use ibuprofen with caution in specific populations and clinical situations.

  • Assess gastrointestinal risk: avoid in patients with active ulcers or a history of GI bleeding.
  • Monitor renal function: use cautiously in individuals with impaired kidney function.
  • Contraindicated in third‑trimester pregnancy: avoid use during late pregnancy.
  • Use with caution in asthma: may trigger bronchospasm in susceptible patients.
  • Limit use in cardiovascular disease: may increase risk of thrombotic events.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Ibuprofen can interact with several drug classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk.
  • Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal toxicity.
  • Corticosteroids: heightened ulcer risk.
  • ACE inhibitors or ARBs: may reduce renal function.
  • Lithium: increased lithium serum levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Diuretics: possible renal effects.
  • Methotrexate: reduced clearance leading to toxicity.
  • SSRIs: increased bleeding tendency.
  • Blood pressure medications: may affect control.
  • Antidiabetic agents: potential impact on glucose regulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nurofen 200 Fastcaps contains ibuprofen, an NSAID that is used to relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache, dental discomfort, menstrual cramps, muscle and joint aches, and to reduce fever. It is an over‑the‑counter option for short‑term symptom management.

Ibuprofen works by reversibly blocking the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are essential for prostaglandin production. Lower prostaglandin levels lead to reduced inflammation, diminished pain signaling, and a decrease in body temperature.

The appropriate dose of Nurofen 200 Fastcaps is determined by a healthcare professional based on the individual's age, weight, and clinical need. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product labeling for safe use.

Safety of ibuprofen in pregnancy and lactation is not fully established. It is generally avoided in the third trimester of pregnancy and used with caution while breastfeeding. Consultation with a healthcare provider is recommended before use.

To 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, and necessary import documentation.

Compared with acetaminophen, ibuprofen offers anti‑inflammatory benefits in addition to analgesia and antipyresis. Unlike aspirin, it has a lower risk of causing gastrointestinal bleeding at standard doses, though all NSAIDs share similar cautions regarding renal and cardiovascular effects.

Store the capsules at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original packaging to protect from moisture and light. Do not refrigerate or freeze the product.

The capsules are taken orally with a full glass of water. They can be taken with or without food, although taking them with food may reduce stomach irritation. Follow the dosing instructions provided by the prescriber.

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

Individuals with active peptic ulcer disease, severe kidney or liver impairment, known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, those in the third trimester of pregnancy, and patients taking anticoagulants without medical supervision should avoid using this product.
