Description
Ibuprofen is a pain relieving medicine. It is used to treat many conditions such as headache, fever, period pain, toothache, colds, and mild arthritis. It is also a common ingredient in many cold and flu remedies. Ibuprofen should be taken with food to avoid stomach upset and reduce side effects. In general, you should try to use the smallest amount necessary to control your symptoms, for the shortest possible time. You should take this medicine regularly while you need it. Try not to miss doses as it will become less effective if you do. The medicine is well tolerated with little or no side effects. However, it may cause vomiting, stomach pain, nausea, and indigestion in some people. If any of these side effects do not resolve with time or get worse, you should let your doctor know. Your doctor may be able to suggest ways of preventing or reducing the symptoms. This medicine is widely prescribed and considered safe but is not suitable for everybody. Before you take it, you should tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, asthma, blood disorders or drink a lot of alcohol. Also, tell your doctor what other medicines you are taking to make sure you are safe. It is best to avoid drinking alcohol while using this medicine.
