1. What is Ibuprofen Aurovitas Spain and what is it used for

Ibuprofen Aurovitas Spain belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which reduce pain, inflammation, and fever.

This medicine is used for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate pain, including migraine, menstrual pain, and/or fever. Additionally, ibuprofen is used for the symptomatic treatment of pain and inflammation in rheumatic diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), degenerative joint diseases (e.g., osteoarthritis), and pain and inflammation after soft tissue injuries.

2. What you need to know before you take Ibuprofen Aurovitas Spain

Do not take Ibuprofen Aurovitas Spain:

  • If you are allergic to ibuprofen or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you have had allergic reactions such as asthma, nasal discharge, itchy rash, or inflammation of the lips, face, tongue, or throat after taking medicines containing acetylsalicylic acid (such as aspirin) or other pain or inflammation medicines (NSAIDs).
  • If you have had intestinal bleeding or perforation associated with the use of pain or inflammation medicines (NSAIDs).
  • If you have a stomach or duodenal ulcer (ulcerative disease of the stomach or duodenum) or if you have had two or more episodes of this condition in the past.
  • If you have severe liver, kidney, or heart problems.
  • If you are in the third trimester of pregnancy.
  • If you have significant dehydration (caused by vomiting, diarrhea, or insufficient fluid intake).
  • If you have any active bleeding (including in the brain).
  • If you have any disease of unknown origin that results in the abnormal formation of blood cells.

Do not give this medicine to children with a weight below 20 kg or under 6 years of age.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Ibuprofen Aurovitas Spain:

  • If you have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or mixed connective tissue disease.
  • If you have inherited a disorder of hemoglobin, the red pigment in the blood (porphyria).
  • If you have chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or other stomach or intestinal diseases.
  • If you have alterations in blood cell formation.
  • If you have problems with the normal blood clotting mechanism.
  • If you have allergies, allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic nasal mucosa inflammation, sinusitis, adenoids, or chronic obstructive respiratory disease, as the risk of developing respiratory tract narrowing with difficulty breathing is higher.
  • If you have liver, kidney, or heart problems.
  • If you have recently undergone surgery.
  • If you are in the first six months of pregnancy.
  • If you are breastfeeding.
  • If you have an infection; see the heading "Infections" below.
  • Signs of allergic reaction to this medicine, such as respiratory problems, swelling of the face and neck area (angioedema), and chest pain due to ibuprofen, have been reported. Stop using this medicine immediately and contact your doctor or emergency medical services immediately if you notice any of these signs.
  • Severe 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 ibuprofen treatment and seek medical attention immediately if you notice any of the symptoms related to these severe skin reactions described in section 4.

Infections

Ibuprofen may mask 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.

Elderly patients

If you are an elderly patient, you will be more prone to experiencing side effects, especially bleeding and perforation of the digestive tract, which can be fatal.

Ulcers, perforation, and bleeding in the stomach and intestine

If you have previously had a stomach or intestinal ulcer, especially if it was complicated by a perforation or accompanied by bleeding, you should pay attention to any unusual symptoms in the abdomen and notify your doctor immediately, particularly if these symptoms occur at the beginning of treatment. This is because the risk of bleeding or ulceration of the digestive tract is higher in this case, especially in elderly patients. If bleeding or ulceration of the digestive tract occurs, treatment should be discontinued.

Bleeding, ulceration, or perforation in the stomach or intestines can occur without any warning signs, even in patients who have never had such problems before. It can also be fatal.

The risk of ulcers, perforation, or bleeding in the stomach or intestines generally increases with higher doses of ibuprofen. The risk also increases if ibuprofen is taken at the same time as other medicines (see "Other medicines and Ibuprofen Aurovitas Spain" below).

Side effects can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time necessary to control the symptoms.

Skin reactions

Severe skin reactions have been reported in association with ibuprofen treatment. Stop taking ibuprofen and consult a doctor immediately if you experience any skin rash, lesions on the mucous membranes, blisters, or other signs of allergy, as these can be the first signs of a severe skin reaction. See section 4.

It is advised to avoid using this medicine during chickenpox.

Effects on the heart and brain

Anti-inflammatory/analgesic medicines like ibuprofen may be associated with a small increased risk of having a heart attack or stroke, especially when used at 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, or a family history of heart disease or stroke, or if you are a smoker.

Effects on the kidneys

Ibuprofen may cause kidney problems, even in patients who have not had kidney problems before. This can lead to swelling of the legs and may even result in heart failure or high blood pressure in susceptible individuals.

Ibuprofen may cause kidney damage, especially in patients who have already had kidney, heart, or liver problems, or who are taking diuretics or ACE inhibitors, as well as in elderly patients. However, discontinuing ibuprofen treatment usually leads to recovery.

Aseptic meningitis (inflammation of the brain membrane without bacterial infection)

Some cases of meningitis (manifested as stiffness of the neck, headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, or disorientation) have been detected during ibuprofen treatment. Although it is possibly more likely to occur in patients with autoimmune system disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective tissue disease, it has been reported in patients without a pre-existing disease.

Other precautions

Very rare acute severe hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylactic shock) have been observed. Upon the first signs of hypersensitivity reaction after taking ibuprofen, discontinue treatment and inform your doctor immediately.

Ibuprofen may temporarily inhibit the function of blood platelets (blood platelet aggregation). Therefore, patients with blood coagulation disorders should be closely monitored.

The prolonged use of any type of pain reliever for headaches may worsen them. If you experience or suspect this situation, stop taking ibuprofen and consult your doctor. The diagnosis of headache due to medication overuse should be suspected in patients who have frequent or daily headaches despite (or due to) the habitual use of headache medicines.

The habitual use of pain relievers can cause permanent kidney damage and increase the risk of kidney failure.

Ibuprofen may mask the symptoms or signs of an infection (fever, pain, and swelling) and prolong bleeding time.

Ibuprofen may decrease your ability to become pregnant. You should inform your doctor if you intend to become pregnant or if you have problems becoming pregnant.

Children and adolescents

This medicine is contraindicated in children with a weight below 20 kg or under 6 years of age (see section 3).

It may cause kidney problems in children and adolescents who are dehydrated.

Other medicines and Ibuprofen Aurovitas Spain

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.

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

  • Other NSAIDs, including COX-2 inhibitors, as the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding may increase.
  • Anticoagulants (prevent blood clotting), such as warfarin or heparin, as the effect of anticoagulants may be enhanced.
  • Platelet aggregation inhibitors (prevent blood clotting) such as clopidogrel and ticlopidine.
  • Methotrexate (used to treat cancer or autoimmune diseases).
  • Digoxin (for the treatment of various heart diseases), as the effect of digoxin may be enhanced.
  • Phenytoin (used to prevent the onset of epileptic seizures), as the effect of phenytoin may be enhanced.
  • Lithium (used to treat depression and mania), as the effect of lithium may be enhanced.
  • Diuretics (medicines used to increase urine elimination), as their effect may be decreased.
  • Potassium-sparing diuretics, as hyperkalemia may occur.
  • Medicines that lower blood pressure (ACE inhibitors such as captopril, beta-blockers such as atenolol, or angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as losartan).
  • Colestyramine (used to treat high cholesterol levels).
  • Aminoglycosides (medicines against certain bacteria), as NSAIDs may decrease the elimination of aminoglycosides.
  • SSRIs (medicines for depression) such as paroxetine, sertraline, citalopram, as they may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Cyclosporine, tacrolimus (for immunosuppression after organ transplantation), as kidney damage may occur.
  • Zidovudine or ritonavir (used to treat HIV-infected patients).
  • Mifepristone, as NSAIDs may reduce the effect of mifepristone.
  • Probenecid or sulfinpyrazone (for the treatment of gout), as they may delay the elimination of ibuprofen.
  • Quinolone antibiotics, as the risk of seizures may increase.
  • Sulfonylureas (for the treatment of type 2 diabetes), as blood sugar levels may be affected.
  • Corticosteroids (used to treat inflammation), as the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding may increase.
  • Bisphosphonates (used for osteoporosis, Paget's disease, and to reduce high blood calcium levels).
  • Oxpentifylline (pentoxifylline), used to treat circulatory disease of the arteries of the legs or arms.
  • Baclofen (a muscle relaxant), due to its high toxicity.
  • Gingko biloba medicinal preparations (there is a possibility that you may bleed more easily if taken with ibuprofen).
  • Voriconazole and fluconazole (CYP2C9 inhibitors) (used to treat fungal infections), as the effect of ibuprofen may be increased. A dose reduction of ibuprofen should be considered, especially when high doses of ibuprofen are used together with voriconazole or fluconazole.

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

Taking Ibuprofen Aurovitas Spain with alcohol

Avoid taking alcohol, as it may increase the adverse reactions of ibuprofen, especially those affecting the stomach, intestine, or central nervous system.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

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, lung, or heart problems in your fetus. It may affect your and your baby's ability to bleed and prolong or delay delivery more than expected. You should not take ibuprofen during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless it is clearly necessary and as directed 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 lead to low levels of the fluid surrounding the baby (oligohydramnios) or narrowing of the blood vessels (ductal constriction) in the baby's heart. If you need treatment for more than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional checks.

Ibuprofen appears in breast milk in very small amounts, and it is generally not necessary to stop breastfeeding during short-term treatments. However, if a longer treatment is prescribed, early weaning should be considered.

Driving and using machines

Generally, ibuprofen does not have adverse effects on the ability to drive or use machines. However, given that high doses may cause side effects such as fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness (reported as common), and visual disturbances (reported as uncommon), the ability to drive or operate machinery may be affected in individual cases. This effect is enhanced by simultaneous alcohol consumption.

Ibuprofen Aurovitas Spain contains sodium:This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet; it is essentially "sodium-free".
