GENERIC NAME: Ibuprofen: Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Aspirin Naproxen Indomethacin Nabumetone Fever

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. It works by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase, reducing prostaglandin production and subsequent pain, fever, and inflammation. Ibuprofen is available as tablets, chewable tablets, and suspensions in various doses. It can interact with other drugs like lithium, blood thinners, and methotrexate, potentially increasing their side effects or reducing their effectiveness.

GENERIC NAME: ibuprofen

BRAND NAME: Advil, Children's Advil/Motrin, Medipren, Motrin, Nuprin, PediaCare


Fever etc.

DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Ibuprofen belongs to a class of drugs called


nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Other members of this class include aspirin,
naproxen (Aleve), indomethacin (Indocin), nabumetone (Relafen) and several others. These
drugs are used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. Pain,
fever, and inflammation are promoted by the release in the body of chemicals called
prostaglandins. Ibuprofen blocks the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase),
resulting in lower levels of prostaglandins. As a consequence, inflammation, pain and fever
are reduced. The FDA approved ibuprofen in 1974.

PRESCRIPTION: Yes

GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes

PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 100, 200, 400, 600, and 800 mg; Chewable tablets: 50 and 100
mg; Suspension: 100 mg/5 ml and 40 mg/ml

STORAGE: Ibuprofen should be stored at room temperature, between 15 C to 30 C (59 F to


86 F).

PRESCRIBED FOR: Ibuprofen is used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain,
inflammation and fever caused by many and diverse diseases. It is used for treating menstrual
cramps (dysmenorrhea), osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

DOSING: For minor aches, mild to moderate pain, menstrual cramps, and fever, the usual
adult dose is 200 or 400 mg every 4 to 6 hours.

Arthritis is treated with 300 to 800 mg 3 or 4 times daily.

When under the care of a physician, the maximum dose of ibuprofen is 3.2 g daily.
Otherwise, the maximum dose is 1.2 g daily.

Individuals should not use ibuprofen for more than 10 days for the treatment of pain or more
than 3 days for the treatment of a fever unless directed by a physician.

Children 6 months to 12 years of age usually are given 5-10 mg/kg of ibuprofen every 6-8
hours for the treatment of fever and pain. The maximum dose is 40 mg/kg daily.

Juvenile arthritis is treated with 20 to 40 mg/kg/day in 3-4 divided doses.

Ibuprofen should be taken with meals to prevent stomach upset.

DRUG INTERACTIONS: Ibuprofen is associated with several suspected or probable


interactions that can affect the action of other drugs. Ibuprofen may increase the blood levels
of lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) by reducing the excretion of lithium by the kidneys. Increased
levels of lithium may lead to lithium toxicity.
Ibuprofen may reduce the blood pressure-lowering effects of drugs that are given to reduce
blood pressure. This may occur because prostaglandins play a role in the regulation of blood
pressure.

When ibuprofen is used in combination with methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall) or


aminoglycosides (for example, gentamicin) the blood levels of the methotrexate or
aminoglycoside may increase, presumably because their elimination from the body is
reduced. This may lead to more methotrexate or aminoglycoside-related side effects.

Ibuprofen increases the negative effect of cyclosporine on kidney function.

Individuals taking oral blood thinners or anticoagulants, for example, warfarin (Coumadin),
should avoid ibuprofen because ibuprofen also thins the blood, and excessive blood thinning
may lead to bleeding.

If aspirin is taken with ibuprofen there may be an increased risk for developing an ulcer.

Persons who have more than three alcoholic beverages per day may be at increased risk of
developing stomach ulcers when taking ibuprofen or other NSAIDs.

NAMA GENERIK: ibuprofen


NAMA MEREK: Advil, Anak Advil / Motrin, Medipren, Motrin, Nuprin, PediaCare Demam dll

OBAT KELAS DAN MEKANISME: Ibuprofen termasuk dalam kelas obat yang disebut obat anti-
inflamasi nonsteroid (NSAID). Anggota lain dari kelas ini termasuk aspirin, naproxen (Aleve),
indometasin (Indocin), nabumetone (Relafen) dan beberapa lainnya. Obat ini digunakan untuk
manajemen nyeri ringan sampai sedang, demam, dan peradangan. Nyeri, demam, dan peradangan
dipromosikan oleh rilis dalam tubuh zat kimia yang disebut prostaglandin. Ibuprofen blok enzim yang
membuat prostaglandin (siklooksigenase), sehingga tingkat yang lebih rendah prostaglandin. Sebagai
konsekuensi, peradangan, nyeri dan demam berkurang. FDA menyetujui ibuprofen pada tahun 1974.

RESEP: Ya

GENERIC TERSEDIA: Ya

PERSIAPAN: Tablet: 100, 200, 400, 600, dan 800 mg; Tablet kunyah: 50 dan 100 mg; Suspensi: 100
mg / 5 ml dan 40 mg / ml

PENYIMPANAN: Ibuprofen harus disimpan pada suhu kamar, antara 15 C sampai 30 C (59 F sampai
86 F).

Diresepkan untuk: Ibuprofen digunakan untuk pengobatan nyeri ringan sampai sedang, peradangan
dan demam disebabkan oleh banyak dan beragam penyakit. Hal ini digunakan untuk mengobati
kram menstruasi (dysmenorrhea), osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, dan juvenile idiopathic
arthritis.

Dosis: Untuk sakit ringan, ringan sampai nyeri sedang, kram menstruasi, dan demam, dosis lazim
dewasa adalah 200 atau 400 mg setiap 4 sampai 6 jam.

Arthritis diperlakukan dengan 300 sampai 800 mg 3 atau 4 kali sehari.

Ketika di bawah perawatan dokter, dosis maksimum ibuprofen adalah 3,2 g sehari. Jika tidak, dosis
maksimum adalah 1,2 g sehari.

Individu tidak harus menggunakan ibuprofen selama lebih dari 10 hari untuk pengobatan nyeri atau
lebih dari 3 hari untuk pengobatan demam kecuali diarahkan oleh dokter.

Anak-anak 6 bulan sampai 12 tahun biasanya diberikan 5-10 mg / kg ibuprofen setiap 6-8 jam untuk
pengobatan demam dan nyeri. Dosis maksimum adalah 40 mg / kg sehari.

Arthritis remaja diperlakukan dengan 20 sampai 40 mg / kg / hari dalam 3-4 dosis terbagi.

Ibuprofen harus diambil dengan makanan untuk mencegah gangguan perut.

INTERAKSI OBAT: Ibuprofen dikaitkan dengan beberapa dicurigai atau kemungkinan interaksi yang
dapat mempengaruhi kerja obat lain. Ibuprofen dapat meningkatkan tingkat darah dari lithium
(Eskalith, Lithobid) dengan mengurangi ekskresi litium oleh ginjal. Peningkatan kadar lithium dapat
menyebabkan toksisitas lithium.

Ibuprofen dapat mengurangi efek penurun tekanan darah obat yang diberikan untuk mengurangi
tekanan darah. Hal ini mungkin terjadi karena prostaglandin berperan dalam pengaturan tekanan
darah.

Ketika ibuprofen digunakan dalam kombinasi dengan methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall) atau
aminoglikosida (misalnya, gentamisin) tingkat darah dari methotrexate atau aminoglikosida dapat
meningkatkan, mungkin karena eliminasi mereka dari tubuh berkurang. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan
lebih methotrexate atau efek samping aminoglikosida terkait.

Ibuprofen meningkatkan efek negatif dari siklosporin pada fungsi ginjal.

Individu mengambil pengencer darah atau antikoagulan oral, misalnya, warfarin (Coumadin),
sebaiknya hindari ibuprofen karena ibuprofen juga mengencerkan darah, dan pengencer darah yang
berlebihan dapat menyebabkan perdarahan.

Jika aspirin diambil dengan ibuprofen mungkin ada peningkatan risiko untuk mengembangkan ulkus.

Orang yang memiliki lebih dari tiga minuman beralkohol per hari dapat berada pada peningkatan
risiko mengembangkan sakit maag saat mengambil ibuprofen atau NSAID lainnya.
