1. What is Ibuprofen Farmalider and what is it used for
Ibuprofen Farmalider contains ibuprofen as the active substance and belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
This medicine is used in infants over 3 months and children up to 12 years for the symptomatic relief of mild or moderate occasional pain, as well as in febrile conditions.
2. What you need to know before you take Ibuprofen Farmalider
Do not take Ibuprofen Farmalider
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to ibuprofen or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6) or to other medicines of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug group (NSAIDs) or to aspirin. Allergic reactions may be: skin rash with itching, swelling of the face, lips or tongue, nasal discharge, difficulty breathing or asthma,
- if you have severe liver or kidney disease,
- if you have active inflammatory bowel disease,
- if you have had a stomach or duodenal ulcer (peptic ulcer) or have had two or more episodes of stomach or duodenal ulcer or bleeding, or have had a perforation of the digestive tract,
- if you vomit blood,
- if you have black stools or bloody diarrhea,
- if you have bleeding disorders or blood clotting disorders, or are taking anticoagulants (medicines used to "thin" the blood). If it is necessary to use anticoagulant medications at the same time, your doctor will perform blood clotting tests,
- if you have severe heart failure,
- if you have significant 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 this medicine
- if you have edema (fluid retention),
- if you have or have had heart disorders or have high blood pressure,
- if you have asthma or any other respiratory disorder,
- 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 as a consequence of dehydration in this specific case. There is a risk of kidney failure in dehydrated children and adolescents.
- if you have had or develop an ulcer, bleeding, or perforation in the stomach or duodenum, which may be manifested by severe abdominal pain 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 protective medication,
- if you are taking medications that alter blood clotting, such as oral anticoagulants (such as warfarin) or antiplatelet agents of the aspirin type. You should also discuss the use of other medications that may increase the risk of such bleeding, such as corticosteroids (such as prednisolone) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors,
- if you have ulcerative colitis or 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 ibuprofen-type medications can worsen these conditions,
- if you are being treated with diuretics (medicines used to increase urine production) because 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 can 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 the 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,
- allergic reactions may occur with this medication,
- 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.
- Treatment with ibuprofen can mask fever, which is an important sign of infection, making diagnosis difficult.
- If you have an infection; see the "Infections" section below.
- Signs of allergic reaction to this medication, such as respiratory problems, swelling of the face and neck area (angioedema), and chest pain, have been reported with ibuprofen. Stop using Ibuprofen Farmalider immediately and contact your doctor or emergency medical services immediately if you observe any of these signs.
Infections
Ibuprofen Farmalider may hide the signs of an infection, such as fever and pain. Consequently, Ibuprofen Farmalider 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 medication while having an infection and the symptoms of the infection persist or worsen, consult a doctor without delay.
Skin reactions
Severe skin reactions have been reported with ibuprofen treatment. Stop taking ibuprofen and go to the 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 severe skin reaction. See section 4.
Severe skin reactions, such as exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS syndrome), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), have been reported in association with ibuprofen treatment. Discontinue treatment with Ibuprofeno Farmalider and seek medical attention immediately if you notice any of the symptoms related to these severe skin reactions described in section 4.
It is important to use the smallest dose that relieves-controls the pain and do not take this medication for longer than necessary to control your symptoms.
Cardiovascular precautions
Anti-inflammatory/analgesic medications like ibuprofen may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack or stroke, especially when used in high doses and in prolonged treatments. 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 if you are a smoker.
Similarly, these types of medications can 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 such patients.
Children and adolescents
There is a risk of kidney damage in dehydrated children and adolescents.
Precautions during pregnancy and in women of childbearing age
Because the administration of ibuprofen-type medications has been associated with an increased risk of congenital anomalies/abortions, it is not recommended to administer it during the first and second trimester of pregnancy unless it is strictly necessary. In these cases, the dose and duration will be limited to the minimum possible.
In the third trimester, the administration of this medication is contraindicated.
For women of childbearing age, it should be taken into account that ibuprofen-type medications have been associated with a decrease in fertility.
In case of administration of this medication in adults
Elderly patients
Elderly patients have a higher risk of adverse events when taking NSAIDs, especially of the gastrointestinal and intestinal type. See section 4 'Possible side effects' for more information.
Patient with a history of gastrointestinal toxicity, especially elderly patients, should report any unusual abdominal symptoms (especially gastrointestinal bleeding), especially in the early stages of treatment.
Interference with laboratory tests
Taking ibuprofen may alter the following laboratory tests:
- Bleeding time (may be prolonged for 1 day after discontinuing 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)
- Liver function tests: increased transaminase values.
Tell your doctor if you are going to have a clinical analysis and are taking or have recently taken ibuprofen.
Other medications and Ibuprofen Farmalider
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medication, including those obtained without a prescription.
Ibuprofen may affect or be affected by other medications. For example:
- other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, and other NSAID-type medications (including Cox-2 inhibitors such as celecoxib or etoricoxib), as the risk of stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding may increase,
- antiplatelet agents (prevent the formation of blood clots or thrombi in blood vessels) such as ticlopidine,
- anticoagulant medications, e.g. to treat coagulation problems/prevent coagulation, (e.g. aspirin, warfarin, ticlopidine),
- cholestyramine (a medication used to treat high cholesterol), as the administration of NSAIDs with cholestyramine may delay and reduce the absorption of NSAIDs,
- selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (used in depression),
- lithium (a medication used to treat depression). Your doctor may adjust the dose of this medication,
- methotrexate (used to treat cancer and inflammatory diseases). Your doctor may adjust the dose of this medication,
- mifepristone (an abortion inducer): NSAIDs should not be taken in the 8-12 days following the use of mifepristone,
- digoxin and cardiac glycosides (used in the treatment of heart disorders): ibuprofen may increase the plasma concentrations of these medications,
- 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), as they may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers,
- diuretics (medicines used to increase urine production), as they may increase the risk of kidney toxicity,
- pentoxifylline (used to treat intermittent claudication),
- probenecid (used in patients with gout or with penicillin in infections) and sulfinpyrazone (for gout),
- quinolone antibiotics such as norfloxacin,
- sulfinpyrazone (for gout),
- sulfonylureas such as tolbutamide (for diabetes), as it may cause hypoglycemia,
- tacrolimus or cyclosporin (used in organ transplants to prevent rejection),
- zidovudine (a medication against the AIDS virus),
- medications that lower high blood pressure (ACE inhibitors such as captopril, beta blockers such as atenolol, and angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as losartan),
- thrombolytics (medications that dissolve blood clots),
- aminoglycoside antibiotics such as neomycin,
- Ginkgo biloba tree extracts,
- baclofen (used to treat involuntary and persistent muscle contractions),
- CYP2C9 inhibitors (responsible for the metabolism of numerous medications in the liver), such as voriconazole and fluticonazole (used to treat fungal infections), as these medications may increase the exposure to NSAIDs,
- tacrine (a medication for Alzheimer's disease).
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.
