How It Works
Ibuprofen works by blocking the production of prostaglandins — natural chemicals in the body that cause pain, swelling, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin levels, ibuprofen helps to relieve pain, lower temperature, and reduce inflammation at the source.

Adults and young people aged 12 years and over: take 1 to 2 tablets (200–400mg) with water. Do not take more than 3 doses (1,200mg) in 24 hours. Leave at least 4 hours between doses. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time necessary. Not suitable for children under 12 years. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Interactions
Ibuprofen may interact with blood-thinning medicines (such as warfarin), other NSAIDs or aspirin, antihypertensives (blood pressure medicines), diuretics, lithium, methotrexate, and certain antidepressants. Taking ibuprofen alongside other NSAIDs or corticosteroids can increase the risk of stomach bleeding. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Ibuprofen should not be taken during the third trimester of pregnancy (28 weeks onwards) as it may harm your unborn baby. It should be used with caution during the first and second trimesters. Ibuprofen passes into breast milk in small amounts and is generally considered suitable for short-term use during breastfeeding, but individual advice is recommended. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
