Description

Ibuprofen 800mg is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation. Each tablet contains 800 mg of ibuprofen, a potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent. The tablets are film-coated, designed to enhance patient compliance by making swallowing easier.

Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which plays a key role in the synthesis of prostaglandins—chemicals that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking COX-1 and COX-2, ibuprofen reduces the production of these prostaglandins, leading to a decrease in pain, swelling, and fever.

Ibuprofen tablets should be taken orally, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. Proper dosing and adherence to instructions are critical to minimize potential side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation, bleeding, and kidney impairment. Long-term use should be monitored for adverse effects, particularly in patients with pre-existing conditions like cardiovascular disease or gastrointestinal disorders.
