2. What you need to know before taking Ibufén Xpress

Do not take Ibufén Xpress

  • If you are allergic to ibuprofen or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6). The reactions that indicate an allergy could be: skin rash with itching, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, nasal discharge, difficulty breathing, bronchospasm, or asthma.
  • If you have a severe liver or kidney disease.
  • If you have had a stomach or duodenal ulcer, or have suffered a perforation of the digestive tract.
  • If you vomit blood.
  • If you have black stools or bloody diarrhea.
  • If you have an active cerebral hemorrhage or other active bleeding.
  • If you have bleeding disorders or blood coagulation disorders, or are taking anticoagulant medications (used to "thin" the blood). If it is necessary to use anticoagulant medications at the same time, your doctor will perform blood coagulation tests.
  • If you have severe heart failure.
  • If you have severe dehydration caused by vomiting, diarrhea, or insufficient fluid intake.
  • If you are in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Ibufén Xpress.

Anti-inflammatory/analgesic medications like ibuprofen may be associated with a small increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke, especially when used in high doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose or treatment duration. Do not take more than 3 sachets of granules (1200 mg of ibuprofen) per day, to avoid possible circulatory or heart problems.

Tell your doctor

  • If you have edema (fluid retention).
  • If you have or have had any heart disorder or have high blood pressure.
  • If you have asthma or any other respiratory disorder.
  • If you have an infection.
  • Ibuprofen may hide the signs of an infection, such as fever and pain. Consequently, this medicine may delay the appropriate treatment of the infection, which may increase the risk of complications. This has been observed in bacterial pneumonia and bacterial skin infections related to chickenpox. If you take this medicine while having an infection and the symptoms of the infection persist or worsen, consult a doctor without delay.
  • If you have kidney or liver disease, are over 60 years old, or need to take the medicine for a prolonged period (more than 1 to 2 weeks), your doctor may need to perform regular checks. Your doctor will indicate the frequency of these checks.
  • If you experience symptoms of dehydration, e.g., severe diarrhea or vomiting, take plenty of fluids and contact your doctor immediately, as ibuprofen may cause kidney failure due to dehydration in this specific case.
  • If you have had or developed an ulcer, bleeding, or perforation in the stomach or duodenum, which may be manifested by intense or persistent abdominal pain and/or black stools, or even without previous warning symptoms. This risk is higher when using high doses and prolonged treatments, in patients with a history of peptic ulcer, and in elderly patients. In these cases, your doctor will consider the possibility of associating a stomach-protecting medication.
  • If you take anticoagulant medications simultaneously, such as oral anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents of the acetylsalicylic acid type. You should also discuss the use of other medications that may increase the risk of such bleeding, such as corticosteroids and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants.
  • If you have Crohn's disease (a chronic disease in which the immune system attacks the intestine, causing inflammation that usually produces bloody diarrhea) or ulcerative colitis, as medications like ibuprofen may worsen these conditions.
  • If you are being treated with diuretics (medications to urinate), as your doctor should monitor your kidney function.
  • If you have systemic lupus erythematosus (a chronic disease that affects the immune system and can affect various vital organs, the nervous system, blood vessels, skin, and joints), as it may cause aseptic meningitis (inflammation of the meninges that protect the brain and spinal cord, not caused by bacteria).
  • If you have acute intermittent porphyria (a metabolic disease that affects your blood and can cause symptoms such as reddish urine color, blood in urine, or liver disease), so that your doctor can assess the convenience or not of treatment with ibuprofen.
  • If you experience headaches after prolonged treatment, do not take higher doses of the medication.
  • If you experience vision changes during treatment with ibuprofen, stop treatment and consult your doctor for an ophthalmological examination.
  • It is possible that allergic reactions may occur with this medication. Treatment should be discontinued if redness and inflammation or skin lesions appear.
  • Skin reactions: Serious skin reactions, such as exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), have been reported in association with ibuprofen treatment. Discontinue treatment with Ibufén Xpress and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the symptoms related to these serious skin reactions described in section 4.
  • Stop taking this medication and consult your doctor immediately if you experience any skin rash, mucous membrane lesions, blisters, or other signs of allergy, as these may be the first signs of a very serious skin reaction. See section 4.
  • Your doctor will perform stricter monitoring if you receive ibuprofen after undergoing major surgery.
  • It is advisable not to take this medication if you have chickenpox.
  • With ibuprofen, signs of allergic reaction to this medication have been reported, such as respiratory problems, swelling of the face and neck (angioedema), and chest pain. Stop using Ibufén Xpress immediately and contact your doctor or the emergency medical service immediately if you observe any of these signs.

It is important that you use the smallest dose that relieves/controls the pain and do not take this medication for longer than necessary to control your symptoms.

Avoid concomitant administration with other NSAIDs, including COX-2 inhibitors.

Precautions in elderly patients

Elderly patients have a higher frequency of adverse reactions to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), especially gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation, which can be fatal.

Cardiovascular precautions

Anti-inflammatory/analgesic medications like ibuprofen may be associated with a small increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke, especially when used in high doses.

Do not exceed the recommended dose or treatment duration.

You should discuss your treatment with your doctor or pharmacist before taking ibuprofen if:

  • you have heart problems, including heart failure, angina (chest pain), or if you have had a heart attack, bypass surgery, peripheral arteriopathy (circulation problems in the legs or feet due to narrowing or blockage of the arteries), or any type of stroke (including a "mini-stroke" or transient ischemic attack "TIA").
  • you have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, have a family history of heart disease or stroke, or are a smoker.

Similarly, this type of medication may cause fluid retention, especially in patients with heart failure and/or high blood pressure (hypertension).

Respiratory disorders

Ibuprofen should be used with caution when administered to patients who have or have a history of bronchial asthma, chronic rhinitis, or allergic diseases, as ibuprofen has been reported to cause bronchospasm, urticaria, or angioedema in these patients.

Children and adolescents

There is a risk of kidney failure in dehydrated children and adolescents.

This medication is not recommended for children and adolescents weighing less than 40 kg or under 12 years old, as the dose of ibuprofen it contains is not suitable for the recommended dosage in this group of patients.

Precautions during pregnancy and in women of childbearing age

Do not take ibuprofen if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus or cause problems during delivery. It may cause kidney and heart problems in your fetus. It may affect you and your baby's tendency to bleed and delay or prolong labor more than expected. Do not take ibuprofen during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless it is strictly necessary and as indicated by your doctor. If you need treatment during this period or while trying to become pregnant, you should take the minimum dose for the shortest possible time.

From the 20th week of pregnancy, ibuprofen may cause kidney problems in your fetus if taken for more than a few days, which may cause low levels of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby (oligohydramnios) or narrowing of a blood vessel (ductus arteriosus) in the baby's heart. If you need treatment for more than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional checks.

For women of childbearing age, it should be noted that medications like ibuprofen have been associated with a decrease in fertility.

Interference with laboratory tests

  • Bleeding time (may be prolonged for 1 day after stopping treatment).
  • Blood glucose concentration (may decrease).
  • Creatinine clearance (may decrease).
  • Hematocrit or hemoglobin (may decrease).
  • Blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine and potassium concentrations (may increase).
  • With liver function tests: increased transaminase values.

If you are going to undergo any diagnostic test (including blood tests, urine tests, skin tests using allergens, etc.), inform your doctor that you are taking this medication, as it may alter the results.

Other medications and Ibufén Xpress

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

Ibuprofen may affect or be affected by other medications. For example:

  • Anticoagulant medications (e.g., to treat coagulation problems/prevent coagulation, e.g., acetylsalicylic acid, warfarin, ticlopidine).
  • Medications that lower high blood pressure (ACE inhibitors such as captopril, beta-blockers such as atenolol, and angiotensin-II receptor antagonists such as losartan).

The following medications may interfere and should not be taken with ibuprofen (arginine) without consulting your doctor:

  • Acetylsalicylic acid or other anti-inflammatory/analgesic agents increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding.
  • Antihypertensives (beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and angiotensin II antagonists) and diuretics: NSAIDs may reduce the effect of diuretics and other antihypertensive substances. Concomitant administration of ibuprofen and potassium-sparing diuretics may cause hyperkalemia and increase the risk of kidney toxicity.
  • Antiplatelet agents (prevent the formation of blood clots or thrombi in blood vessels) such as ticlopidine.
  • Anticoagulants (medications used to "thin" the blood and prevent the formation of clots) such as warfarin.
  • Lithium (medication used to treat depression). Your doctor may adjust the dose of this medication.
  • Methotrexate. Your doctor may adjust the dose of this antimetabolite medication (slows down the growth of certain cells produced by the body).
  • Mifepristone (abortion inducer).
  • Digoxin and cardiac glycosides (used in the treatment of heart disorders).
  • Hydantoins such as phenytoin (used in the treatment of epilepsy).
  • Sulfonamides such as sulfamethoxazole and cotrimoxazole (used in the treatment of certain bacterial infections).
  • Corticosteroids such as cortisone and prednisolone.
  • Pentoxifylline (for intermittent claudication).
  • Probenecid (used in patients with gout or with penicillin in infections).
  • Quinolone antibiotics such as norfloxacin.
  • Sulfinpyrazone (for gout).
  • Sulfonylureas such as tolbutamide or insulin (for diabetes), may need to adjust the dose.
  • Certain antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).
  • Tacrolimus (used in organ transplants to prevent rejection).
  • Zidovudine (medication against the AIDS virus).
  • Thrombolytics (medications that dissolve blood clots).
  • Aminoglycoside antibiotics such as neomycin.
  • Herbal extracts: Ginkgo biloba tree.
  • CYP2C9 inhibitors (responsible for the metabolism of numerous medications in the liver), such as voriconazole and fluconazole (used to treat fungal infections).

Other medications may also affect or be affected by treatment with ibuprofen. Therefore, you should always consult your doctor or pharmacist before using ibuprofen with other medications.

Taking Ibufén Xpress with food, beverages, and alcohol

Take this medication with meals or with milk.

Do not administer ibuprofen with alcohol to avoid damaging the stomach. Alcohol consumption during treatment may increase the risk of gastrointestinal adverse reactions.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Ibuprofen should not be taken during pregnancy, especially during the third trimester (see section "precautions during pregnancy and in women of childbearing age").

Minimal amounts of ibuprofen and its degradation products are excreted in breast milk. As no adverse effects are known in the infant, it is not usually necessary to interrupt breastfeeding during short-term use at recommended doses.

Therefore, if you become pregnant or are breastfeeding, consult your doctor.

Driving and using machines

If you experience dizziness, vertigo, vision changes, or other symptoms while taking this medication, you should not drive or use hazardous machinery. If you only take one dose of ibuprofen (arginine) or take it for a short period, it is not necessary to take special precautions.

Ibufén Xpress contains aspartame, sucrose, and sodium.

This medication contains 25 mg of aspartame in each sachet.

Aspartame contains a source of phenylalanine that may be harmful in case of phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disease in which phenylalanine accumulates because the body is unable to eliminate it properly.

This medication contains sucrose. If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medication.

This medication contains 57.5 mg of sodium (main component of table salt/cooking salt) in each sachet. This is equivalent to 2.9% of the maximum daily recommended sodium intake for an adult.

3. How to take Ibufén Xpress

Follow the administration instructions of the medication contained in this prospectus or as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. In case of doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest time necessary to relieve symptoms. If you have an infection, consult a doctor without delay if symptoms (such as fever and pain) persist or worsen (see section 2).

The recommended dose is:

  • Adults and adolescents over 12 years old weighing 40 kg or more: Take one sachet (400 mg of ibuprofen) every 6 or 8 hours, if necessary. Do not take more than 3 sachets (1200 mg of ibuprofen) in 24 hours.
  • Elderly patients: The dose should be established by the doctor, as it may be necessary to reduce the usual dose.
  • Patients with kidney, liver, or heart disease: Reduce the dose and consult a doctor.

Always use the lowest effective dose.

The administration of this medication is subject to the appearance of pain or fever. As these disappear, the medication should be suspended.

You should consult a doctor if it worsens or does not improve, if the fever persists for more than 3 days or the pain for more than 3 days in adolescents or 5 days in adults.

Use in children

The use of this medication is not recommended in children and adolescents weighing less than 40 kg or under 12 years old, as the dose of ibuprofen it contains is not suitable for the recommended dosage in this group of patients.

Method of administration

This medication is administered orally.

Dissolve the contents of one sachet completely in a glass of water and ingest it afterwards. Take this medication with meals or with milk, especially if digestive discomfort is noticed.

If you take more Ibufén Xpress than you should

If you have taken more Ibufén Xpress than you should, or if a child has taken the medication accidentally, consult a doctor or the nearest hospital immediately to find out about the risk and ask for advice on the measures that can be taken.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, telephone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested, to find out about the risk and ask for advice on the measures that should be taken.

The symptoms of overdose may include nausea, stomach pain, vomiting (which may contain bloody sputum), diarrhea, dizziness, spasms, hypotension, or depression of the nervous system (reduced consciousness), headache, ringing in the ears, confusion, and involuntary eye movement. Agitation, disorientation, or coma may also occur. At high doses, symptoms of drowsiness, chest pain, palpitations, loss of consciousness, convulsions (mainly in children), weakness, and dizziness, blood in the urine, low potassium levels in the blood, chills, and breathing difficulties have been reported.

Rarely, more serious symptoms such as gastrointestinal bleeding, low blood pressure, convulsions, and respiratory alterations may occur. Exacerbation of asthma is possible in asthmatics. In case of significant overdose, kidney failure and liver damage may occur.

Additionally, the prothrombin time/INR may be prolonged, probably due to interference with the actions of circulating coagulation factors.

In case of ingestion of significant amounts, activated charcoal should be administered. Gastric lavage will be considered if significant amounts have been ingested and within 60 minutes after ingestion.

If you forget to take Ibufén Xpress

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses.

If you forget to take your corresponding dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if the time for the next dose is near, skip the forgotten dose and take the next dose at the usual time.

If you have any other doubts about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
