Important Note

The following information is intended to supplement, not substitute for, the expertise and judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare professional. It should not be construed to indicate that use of the drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult your healthcare professional before using this drug.

Uses

Ibuprofen is in a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Ibuprofen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Ibuprofen is used to reduce the fever, pain, inflammation, and stiffness caused by many conditions, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and abdominal cramps associated with menstruation. Ibuprofen may also be used for purposes other than those listed here.

How to Use

Take ibuprofen tablets or caplets by mouth. Follow the directions on the label. Swallow tablets whole with a full glass of water; take tablets in an upright or sitting position. Taking a sip of water first, before taking the tablets, may help you swallow them. If possible take bedtime doses at least 10 minutes before lying down. Ibuprofen may be taken with food if it upsets your stomach. Take your doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed.

Side Effects

If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking ibuprofen and seek medical treatment or call your doctor immediately: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives); muscle cramps, numbness, or tingling; ulcers (open sores) in the mouth; rapid weight gain (fluid retention); seizures; black, bloody, or tarry stools; blood in your urine or vomit; decreased hearing or ringing in the ears; jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes); or abdominal cramping, indigestion, or heartburn. Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take ibuprofen and talk to your doctor if you experience dizziness or headache; nausea, gaseousness, diarrhea, or constipation; depression; fatigue or weakness; irregular menstrual periods. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

Precautions

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have an allergy to aspirin or any other NSAIDs, have an ulcer or bleeding in the stomach, drink more than three alcoholic beverages a day, have liver or kidney disease, have a coagulation (bleeding or blood clotting) disorder, have congestive heart failure, have fluid retention, have heart disease, or have high blood pressure. You may not be able to take ibuprofen, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above. It is not known whether ibuprofen will harm an unborn baby. Ibuprofen should not be taken late in pregnancy (the third trimester) because a similar drug is known to affect the baby's heart. Do not take ibuprofen without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. Ibuprofen passes into breast milk in very small amounts, however it is not expected to harm a nursing baby. Talk to your doctor before taking ibuprofen if you are breast-feeding.
