What is Ibugesic?

Ibugesic is a popular brand of Ibuprofen, a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID). It is used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever caused by various conditions such as headache, toothache, arthritis, muscle pain, and menstrual cramps.

How It Works

Ibugesic works by:

    • Blocking cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, which produce prostaglandins — the chemicals responsible for pain, swelling, and fever.

    • By reducing prostaglandin production, it relieves pain, reduces inflammation, and lowers body temperature.

Uses

Ibugesic is commonly used to treat:

    • Headache and migraine

    • Toothache

    • Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea)

    • Muscle pain and back pain

    • Joint pain (arthritis, sprains, or injuries)

    • Cold, flu, or fever

    • Post-surgical or injury-related pain

Side Effects

Common (mild):

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Stomach pain or acidity

  • Heartburn

  • Dizziness or headache

Serious (rare):

    • Stomach ulcer or bleeding

    • Liver or kidney problems

    • Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty)

    • Increased blood pressure

Precautions

  • Avoid if you have stomach ulcers, liver/kidney disease, asthma, or heart problems.

  • Do not combine with other NSAIDs (like Diclofenac, Aspirin).

  • Avoid alcohol during use — it increases the risk of stomach bleeding.

  • Not recommended during pregnancy (especially in the last trimester).

  • Elderly people should use with caution.
