This medicine should always be taken exactly as described in this patient leaflet or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
MIG is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, NSAID) with antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects.
MIG is used for symptomatic treatment
Before starting treatment with MIG, the patient should discuss it with their doctor or pharmacist.
If the patient has an infection - see below, section titled "Infections".
Side effects can be minimized by using the smallest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms.
Concomitant use of MIG with other NSAIDs, including so-called COX-2 inhibitors, should be avoided.
Elderly patients
The frequency of side effects during NSAID treatment, especially gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation, which can be fatal, is higher in the elderly. Therefore, during treatment in the elderly, special medical supervision is recommended.
Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforation
There have been reports of gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric and/or duodenal ulcers, and perforations, which can be fatal, with all NSAIDs, occurring at any time during treatment, with or without warning symptoms and with or without a history of severe gastrointestinal side effects.
The risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric and/or duodenal ulcers, and perforation increases with increasing NSAID doses in patients with a history of gastric and/or duodenal ulcers, especially if complicated by bleeding or perforation (see section 2, "When not to take MIG") and in the elderly. In such patients, treatment should be started with the lowest available doses.
In such patients and in patients requiring concomitant administration of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid or other drugs that may increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, consideration should be given to concomitant administration of drugs with a protective effect on the gastric mucosa (e.g., misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors).
Patients with a history of gastrointestinal side effects, especially the elderly, should report any unusual abdominal symptoms (especially gastrointestinal bleeding), especially at the start of treatment.
Caution is advised in patients receiving concomitant medications that may increase the risk of developing gastric and/or duodenal ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding, such as oral corticosteroids, anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (used to treat depression), or antiplatelet agents (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid) (see section 2, "MIG and other medicines").
In the event of gastrointestinal bleeding or gastric and/or duodenal ulcers during MIG treatment, treatment should be discontinued.
NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disorders (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease), as they may exacerbate the disease (see section 4, "Possible side effects").
Taking anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicines like ibuprofen may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack or stroke, especially when used in high doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose and duration of treatment.
Before taking MIG, the patient should discuss the treatment with their doctor or pharmacist if:
During ibuprofen treatment, allergic reactions to this medicine have occurred, including difficulty breathing, facial and neck edema (angioedema), and chest pain.
Severe skin reactions have been reported with ibuprofen, including exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), as well as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP). If the patient experiences any symptoms associated with these severe skin reactions described in section 4, they should immediatelystop taking MIG and seek medical attention.
During chickenpox (varicella), it is recommended to avoid taking MIG.
MIG may mask the symptoms of infection, such as fever and pain. As a result, MIG may delay the use of appropriate treatment and consequently lead to increased risk of complications. This has been observed in bacterial pneumonia and bacterial skin infections associated with chickenpox. If the patient is taking this medicine during an infection and the symptoms of the infection persist or worsen, they should immediatelyconsult their doctor.
Caution is advised when administering MIG to patients with asthma or a history of asthma, as NSAIDs have been reported to cause bronchospasm in these patients.
MIG should only be used after careful consideration of the benefit-risk ratio
opon mózgowych (aseptycznego zapalenia opon mózgowo-rdzeniowych) (see section 4, "Possible side effects").
MIG can only be used under strict medical supervision in the following cases:
Very rarely, severe, acute hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylactic shock) have been observed. After the first symptoms of severe hypersensitivity after taking MIG, treatment should be immediatelydiscontinued and the doctor informed.
Ibuprofen, the active substance of MIG, may periodically inhibit platelet aggregation. Therefore, during treatment, patients with coagulation disorders should be closely monitored.
During long-term use of MIG, regular monitoring of liver enzymes, kidney function, and blood morphology is required.
Before surgery, the doctor or dentist should be informed about the use of MIG.
Long-term use of painkillers for headache treatment may lead to worsening of the headache. If this situation is detected or suspected, medical advice should be sought and treatment discontinued. The possibility of medication-overuse headache should be considered in patients suffering from frequent or daily headaches despite regular use (or due to the use) of painkillers.
Generally, habitual use of painkillers, especially combinations of several painkillers, can lead to permanent kidney damage and increase the risk of kidney failure (analgesic nephropathy).
There is a risk of kidney function disorder in dehydrated children and adolescents.
The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
MIG may affect the action of other medicines or other medicines may affect the action of MIG. For example:
Also, some other medicines may be affected or have an effect on MIG treatment. Therefore, before taking MIG with other medicines, the patient should always consult their doctor or pharmacist.
Particularly, the patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist if they are taking:
Alcohol consumption should be avoided during MIG treatment. Some side effects, especially those related to the gastrointestinal tract or central nervous system, are more likely to occur when consuming alcohol and taking MIG.
If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
MIG should not be taken if the patient is in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it may harm the unborn child or cause complications during delivery.
It may cause kidney and heart problems in the unborn child. It may increase the risk of bleeding in the mother and child and cause prolongation or prolongation of labor. During the first 6 months of pregnancy, MIG should not be used unless the doctor considers it absolutely necessary. If treatment is necessary during this period or during attempts to conceive, the smallest possible dose should be used for the shortest possible time. From the 20th week of pregnancy, MIG may cause constriction of the fetal ductus arteriosus or kidney problems in the unborn child, which may lead to reduced amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios) if taken for more than a few days. If treatment is necessary for a longer period, the doctor may recommend additional monitoring.
Breastfeeding
Only small amounts of ibuprofen and its metabolites pass into breast milk.
Since no harmful effects have been observed in infants to date, breastfeeding does not usually need to be discontinued during short-term use. However, during long-term use or when taking high doses, breastfeeding should be considered for discontinuation.
Fertility
This medicine belongs to a group of medicines that may reduce fertility in women (NSAIDs). This effect is temporary and disappears after the end of treatment.
Since large doses of MIG may cause side effects from the central nervous system, such as fatigue and dizziness, the reaction time may change, and the ability to actively participate in traffic and operate machinery may be impaired. This is especially true for interactions with alcohol. The patient may then lose the ability to react quickly and appropriately to unexpected or sudden situations. In this case, they should not drive a car or other vehicles! They should not operate machinery! They should not work without secure support for their feet!
The medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per coated tablet, which means the medicine is considered "sodium-free".

½ - 1 coated tablet (equivalent to 200 - 400 mg ibuprofen)
If the patient has taken a higher dose of MIG than recommended or if a child has accidentally taken the medicine, they should always consult their doctor or go to the nearest hospital to obtain an opinion on the possible risk to their health and advice on what actions to take.
Overdose symptoms may include nausea, stomach pain, vomiting (which may contain blood), headache, ringing in the ears, disorientation, and nystagmus. Additionally, gastrointestinal bleeding is possible. After taking a large dose, drowsiness, a feeling of impending fainting, chest pain, palpitations, loss of consciousness, seizures (mainly in children), weakness, and dizziness have been reported, as well as blood in the urine, low potassium levels in the blood, liver and kidney function disorders, respiratory depression, decreased blood pressure, cyanosis, and coldness and breathing difficulties.
A double dose should not be taken to make up for a missed dose.
In case of any further doubts about the use of this medicine, the patient should consult their doctor or pharmacist.
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The following side effects are all those reported during ibuprofen treatment, including side effects reported during long-term use of ibuprofen in high doses in patients with rheumatic diseases. Side effects more frequent than very rare are those occurring during short-term use in daily doses not exceeding the maximum dose of 1200 mg ibuprofen (= 3 MIG tablets) in the case of oral medicines and a maximum dose of 1800 mg ibuprofen in the case of suppositories.
Regarding the side effects listed below, it should be noted that they mostly show a dose-dependent relationship and are characterized by significant individual variability.
The most commonly observed side effects are gastrointestinal disorders. Gastric and/or duodenal ulcers, perforation, or gastrointestinal bleeding may occur, sometimes leading to death, especially in the elderly (see section 2, "Warnings and precautions").
After taking the medicine, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloating, constipation, indigestion, abdominal pain, black stools, and bloody vomiting have been reported, as well as stomatitis (stomatitis with ulcers), exacerbation of inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease (see section 2, "Warnings and precautions").
Less frequently, gastritis (gastritis) has been observed. The risk of gastrointestinal bleeding is dose-dependent and duration-dependent.
Decreased urine output, fluid retention, as well as general malaise may be signs of kidney function disorders or even kidney failure. If any of the above symptoms occur or worsen, the patient should discontinue MIG and immediatelyconsult their doctor.
In rare cases, during chickenpox (varicella), severe skin and soft tissue infections and complications may occur (see also "very rare" regarding "exacerbation of infections").
If side effects occur, including any side effects not listed in this leaflet, the patient should inform their doctor or pharmacist, or nurse.
