Description

Ibuprofen 800 mg tablet is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to reduce fever, pain, and inflammation. It is often prescribed for the management of conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory disorders. The active ingredient, ibuprofen, works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever.

This medication is typically used for short-term management of pain or inflammation and can be taken by mouth with or without food. The 800 mg tablet formulation is commonly prescribed for adults to treat moderate pain, including pain from injuries, dental procedures, or musculoskeletal conditions. It may also be used to alleviate symptoms of acute pain related to menstrual cramps or other medical conditions.

Ibuprofen 800 mg tablets are generally well tolerated, but they should be used with caution in individuals with a history of gastrointestinal disorders, kidney disease, or cardiovascular issues. Long-term use or high doses of ibuprofen can lead to increased risks of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and kidney damage.
