Mode of action

How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient belongs to a group of substances that act both against pain and inflammation and can reduce fever. All three effects are primarily based on the inhibition of an endogenous substance called prostaglandin. This substance must be present as a messenger substance so that pain can be felt, inflammatory reactions can be started or the body temperature can be raised.

Patient notes

• Warnings and Precautions
  • Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine:
    • if you suffer from severe skin reactions such as exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. The use of ibuprofen should be stopped immediately at the first sign of a skin rash or mucosal lesions or other signs of an allergic reaction.
    • if you have a certain hereditary blood formation disorder (e.g. acute intermittent porphyria).
    • if you are elderly, because then the risk of side effects, especially stomach problems, may be increased.
    • if you have asthma or have had asthma attacks in the past or suffer from allergies, as shortness of breath (difficulty breathing) may occur.
    • if you suffer from hay fever, nasal polyps or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, as there is an increased risk of allergic reactions. The allergic reactions can manifest themselves in the form of asthma attacks (so-called analgesic asthma), Quincke's edema or hives (urticaria).
    • if you have chickenpox infection (varicella infection) it is recommended to avoid the use of ibuprofen.
    • if you have impaired liver or kidney function.
    • if you have just had a major surgical procedure.
    • if you suffer from stomach and bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
    • if you have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or mixed collagen disease, i.e. diseases that affect the immune system. These cause joint pain, skin changes and other physical problems.
    • if you have ever had or are predisposed to heart problems, high blood pressure or stroke. Medicines like this may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack ("myocardial infarction") or stroke. Any risk is more likely with high doses and prolonged treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment (3 days for treating fever and 4 days for treating pain). If you have heart problems or a previous stroke, or think you might be at risk for these conditions (for example, if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol, or are a smoker), you should discuss your treatment with your doctor or pharmacist.
  • Anti-inflammatories/painkillers such as ibuprofen may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack or stroke, particularly when used in high doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment (maximum 4 days). You should discuss your treatment with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you
    • have heart disease, including heart failure (heart failure) and angina (chest pain), or have had a heart attack, bypass surgery, peripheral artery disease (poor circulation in the legs or feet due to narrowed or blocked arteries), or any type of stroke (including mini-stroke or transient ischemic attack ("TIA").
    • Have high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease or stroke, or if you are a smoker.
  • If you take ibuprofen for a longer period of time, you need to have your liver values, kidney function and blood count checked regularly.
  • Use with NSAR, including cyclooxygenase-2 specific inhibitors, increases the risk of side effects and should be avoided.
  • The risk of side effects can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time.
  • In general, the habitual use of (various types of) painkillers can lead to permanent kidney damage. This risk may be increased with exercise associated with salt loss and dehydration. Therefore it should be avoided.
  • Prolonged use of any type of pain reliever for a headache can make it worse. If this occurs or is suspected, medical advice should be sought and treatment discontinued. A diagnosis of medication overuse headache (MOH) should be suspected in patients who experience frequent or daily headaches despite (or because of) their regular use of headache drugs.
  • Consult a doctor before taking ibuprofen if the above apply to you.
  • Children and young people
    • There is a risk of renal dysfunction in dehydrated adolescents (age range: >/=12 years to < 18 years).
