Nurofen (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen blocks the cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2, which are needed to produce prostaglandins. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it reduces inflammation, diminishes pain‑signal transmission, and helps the body reset its temperature set‑point, thereby lowering fever.

The appropriate dose of Nurofen is determined by a prescriber or pharmacist based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and local labeling. Patients should follow the specific dosing instructions provided with the product or by their healthcare professional.

Safety of ibuprofen in pregnancy and lactation is not fully established. It is generally avoided in the third trimester and used only if clearly needed under medical supervision. Breastfeeding mothers should consult a healthcare professional before use.

Nurofen (ibuprofen) shares the same class mechanism as other NSAIDs such as naproxen or diclofenac, but it has a relatively short half‑life and is often preferred for its rapid onset and flexible dosing. Individual response and safety profiles may differ, so clinicians choose based on patient factors.

Nurofen should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the label.

Nurofen is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food may reduce the chance of stomach upset. Swallow tablets whole; do not crush or chew unless the formulation specifically allows it.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, acute kidney injury, and increased 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 these conditions.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or any other NSAID, those with active gastrointestinal ulcers, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, or those in the third trimester of pregnancy should avoid Nurofen. A healthcare professional should evaluate suitability for all other patients.
