Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. This reduces the production of prostaglandins — chemicals responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever.
Unlike paracetamol, ibuprofen has anti-inflammatory properties, making it particularly effective for pain involving inflammation such as muscle strains, dental pain, and period cramps.
Take ibuprofen with food or milk to reduce the risk of stomach irritation. Do not use if you have a history of stomach ulcers, severe heart failure, or kidney problems. Avoid during the last trimester of pregnancy.
Long-term use or high doses may increase the risk of cardiovascular events. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary. Consult your pharmacist if you take blood-thinning medication.
