Ibuprofen is used for:
Treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, menstrual cramps, or mild to moderate pain. It may
also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Ibuprofen is an NSAID. Exactly how it works is not known. It may block certain substances in the body that are linked to inflammation. NSAIDs treat the symptoms of pain and inflammation. They do not treat the disease that causes those symptoms.
Do NOT use Ibuprofen if:
you are allergic to any ingredient in Ibuprofen
you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, trouble breathing, growths in the nose, dizziness) to aspirin or an NSAID (eg, ibuprofen, celecoxib)
you have recently had or will be having bypass heart surgery
you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), aspirin, corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), heparin, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (eg, fluoxetine)
because the risk of stomach bleeding may be increased

How to use Ibuprofen :
Use Ibuprofen as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
Ibuprofen comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Ibuprofen refilled.
Take Ibuprofen by mouth with or without food. It may be taken with food if it upsets your stomach. Taking it with food may not lower the risk of stomach or bowel problems (eg, bleeding, ulcers). Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you have persistent stomach upset.
Take Ibuprofen with a full glass of water (8 oz/240 mL) as directed by your doctor.
If you miss a dose of Ibuprofen and you are taking it regularly, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose,
skip the missed dose. Go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about the proper use of Ibuprofen .
Important safety information:
Ibuprofen may cause dizziness or drowsiness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Ibuprofen with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
Serious stomach ulcers or bleeding can occur with the use of Ibuprofen . Taking it in high doses or for a long time, smoking, or drinking alcohol increases the risk of these side effects. Taking Ibuprofen with food will NOT reduce the risk of these effects. Contact your doctor or emergency room at once if you develop severe stomach or back pain; black, tarry stools; vomit that looks like blood or coffee grounds; or unusual weight gain or swelling.
Do NOT take more
than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
