1. What is Ibuprofen Normon and what is it used for

Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

This medicine is used in children from 3 months, adolescents, and adults for the symptomatic relief of occasional mild to moderate pain, as well as in febrile conditions.

2. What you need to know before taking Ibuprofen Normon

Do not take Ibuprofen Normon

  • 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. The reactions that indicate allergy could be: skin rash with itching, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, nasal discharge, difficulty breathing, 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 bleeding disorders or blood coagulation 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 coagulation tests.
  • If you have severe dehydration (caused by vomiting, diarrhea, or insufficient fluid intake).
  • If you have severe heart failure.
  • If you are in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Warnings and Precautions

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 are receiving treatment with this medicine, as it may mask fever, which is an important sign of infection, making diagnosis difficult.
  • 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 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 greater when high doses and prolonged treatments are used, 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 medicine.
  • If you take medications that alter blood coagulation, such as oral anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents of the type of acetylsalicylic acid. 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 produces, usually, bloody diarrhea) or ulcerative colitis, as medicines of the Ibuprofen Normon type may worsen these conditions.
  • If you are being treated with diuretics (medicines to increase urine production) because your doctor must 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, which are the membranes 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 suffer from headaches after prolonged treatment, do not take higher doses of the medicine.
  • With ibuprofen, signs of allergic reaction to this medicine have been reported, such as respiratory problems, swelling of the face and neck area (angioedema), and chest pain. Stop using Ibuprofen Normon immediately and contact your doctor or the emergency medical service immediately if you observe any of these signs.
  • It is possible that allergic reactions may occur with this medicine.
  • Your doctor will perform stricter control if you receive ibuprofen after undergoing major surgery.
  • It is advisable not to take this medicine if you have chickenpox.
  • If you have an infection: see the "Infections" section below.

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

Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions (SCARs)

Blank space with thin horizontal lines above and belowSevere skin reactions, such as exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), have been reported in association with ibuprofen treatment. Discontinue treatment with Ibuprofen Normon and seek medical attention immediately if you notice any of the symptoms related to these severe skin reactions described in section 4.

Cardiovascular Precautions

Anti-inflammatory/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 or treatment duration.

You should discuss your treatment with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Ibuprofen Normon 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, this type of medicine may cause fluid retention, especially in patients with heart failure and/or high blood pressure (hypertension).

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 medicines 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 medicine is contraindicated.

For women of childbearing age, it should be taken into account that ibuprofen-type medicines have been associated with a decrease in fertility.

Infections

Ibuprofen may mask the signs of an infection, such as fever and pain. Consequently, ibuprofen 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 your doctor without delay.

Other Medicines and Ibuprofen Normon

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used any other medicine, including those obtained without a prescription.

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

  • Other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, 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 medicines, e.g., to treat coagulation problems/prevent coagulation (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid, warfarin, ticlopidine).
  • Colestyramine (a medicine used to treat high cholesterol).
  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (used in depression).
  • Lithium (a medicine used to treat depression). Your doctor may adjust the dose of this medicine.
  • Methotrexate (for cancer and inflammatory diseases). Your doctor may adjust the dose of this medicine.
  • 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.
  • Diuretics (medicines used to increase urine production), as they may increase the risk of kidney toxicity.
  • 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 (for diabetes), as they may cause hypoglycemia.
  • Tacrolimus or cyclosporin (used in organ transplants to prevent rejection).
  • Zidovudine (a medicine against the AIDS virus).
  • Medicines that lower high blood pressure (ACE inhibitors such as captopril, beta-blockers such as atenolol, and angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as losartan).
  • Thrombolytics (medicines that dissolve blood clots).
  • Aminoglycoside antibiotics such as neomycin.
  • Ginkgo biloba tree extracts.
  • CYP2C9 inhibitors (responsible for the metabolism of numerous drugs in the liver), such as voriconazole and fluticonazole (used to treat fungal infections).

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

Taking ibuprofen may alter the following 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).
  • Liver function tests: increased transaminase values.

Tell your doctor if you are going to undergo a clinical analysis and are taking or have recently taken ibuprofen.

Taking Ibuprofen Normon with Food, Drinks, and Alcohol

It is recommended to take this medicine with milk or with food, or immediately after eating, to reduce the possibility of stomach upset. Do not drink alcohol, as it may increase gastrointestinal adverse reactions.

Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Fertility

The use of this medicine is not recommended in women who are trying to become pregnant.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine. You should not take ibuprofen during pregnancy, especially during the third trimester (see section precautions during pregnancy and in women of childbearing age), as it may harm the fetus or cause problems during delivery. It may cause kidney and heart problems in your fetus. It may affect your and your baby's ability to bleed and delay or prolong delivery more than expected.

You should not take ibuprofen during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless it is clearly 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 a period longer than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional checks.

Although only small amounts of the medicine pass into breast milk, it is recommended not to take ibuprofen for prolonged periods during breastfeeding.

Driving and Using Machines

If you experience dizziness, vertigo, vision disturbances, or other symptoms while taking this medicine, do not drive or use hazardous machinery. If you only take one dose of ibuprofen or for a short period, it is not necessary to take special precautions.

Ibuprofen may delay your reaction time, which should be taken into account before performing activities that require greater vigilance, such as driving and using machinery.

This applies to a greater extent to the combination with alcohol.

Ibuprofen Normon contains saccharose, sodium benzoate (E-211), and orange yellow S (E-110)

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

Patient with diabetes mellitus should be aware that this medicine contains 0.44 g of saccharose per milliliter.

It may cause tooth decay.

This medicine contains 2.5 mg of sodium benzoate in each dose unit.

Sodium benzoate may increase the risk of jaundice (yellowish skin and eye color) in newborns (up to 4 weeks of age).

This medicine may cause allergic reactions because it contains the colorant orange yellow S (E-110). It may cause asthma, especially in patients allergic to acetylsalicylic acid.

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per milliliter; i.e., it is essentially "sodium-free".

3. How to take Ibuprofeno Normon

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

Only for occasional use and during limited periods.

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).

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

Adults and adolescents over 12 years (≥40 kg):

The recommended dose is 5-10 ml (200-400 mg of ibuprofen) at intervals of no less than 4 hours, if necessary and while symptoms persist, without exceeding 1200 mg of ibuprofen in a 24-hour period.

The maximum dose per intake should not exceed 400 mg of ibuprofen. More than 400 mg in a single intake does not provide a better analgesic effect.

The interval between doses will depend on the evolution of symptoms, but will never be less than 4 hours.

In adults and adolescents, a doctor should be consulted if it is necessary to use this medication for more than 3 days in case of fever or 4 days in case of pain or if symptoms worsen.

Children from 3 months to 12 years:

The recommended dose of ibuprofen depends on the child's age and weight. As a general rule, for children from 3 months to 12 years, the recommended daily dose is 20 to 30 mg per kg of body weight, depending on the intensity of symptoms, and is divided into three doses.

The use of this medication in children under 2 years will always be by medical prescription.

Method of administration:

Ibuprofeno Normon is an oral suspension for administration by mouth. It can be administered directly or diluted in water.

  1. Shake the container before use.
  2. Insert the syringe into the hole in the perforated cap.
  3. Invert the bottle and remove the necessary dose.
  4. Administer the contents of the syringe directly into the mouth or into a spoon.
  5. The syringe should be washed after each dose and can be sterilized by boiling in water or immersing it in the sterilizing solution used for baby bottles.

A burning sensation in the mouth or throat may occur with ibuprofen oral suspension; make sure to shake the bottle well before administering the medication.

Patient with stomach discomfort should take the medication with milk and/or during meals.

If you take more Ibuprofeno Normon than you should

If you have taken more ibuprofen than you should, or if a child has ingested the medication accidentally, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately, or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 5620420, indicating the medication and the amount ingested, or go to the nearest hospital to find out about the risk and ask for advice on the measures to be taken.

Normally, symptoms of overdose occur 4 to 6 hours after taking ibuprofen.

Symptoms of overdose may include: nausea, stomach pain, vomiting (which may contain bloody sputum), gastrointestinal bleeding (see also section 4 below), diarrhea, headache, ringing in the ears, confusion, involuntary eye movement, and lack of muscle coordination.

Nervousness, drowsiness, disorientation, or coma may also occur. Occasionally, patients develop seizures. At high doses, symptoms of drowsiness, chest pain, palpitations, loss of consciousness, seizures (mainly in children), weakness, and dizziness, blood in the urine, low potassium levels in the blood, chills, and breathing difficulties have been reported.

Additionally, the prothrombin time/INR may be prolonged, probably due to interference with the action of circulating coagulation factors. Acute renal failure and liver damage may occur. Exacerbation of asthma in asthmatic patients is possible. There is also a possibility of low blood pressure and reduced breathing.

In rare cases, there have been cases of increased acidity of the blood plasma (metabolic acidosis), decreased body temperature, transient loss of breathing (apnea), central nervous system depression, and respiratory system depression. There have also been cases of cardiovascular toxicity (low blood pressure, decreased heart rate, and increased heart rate).

If you forget to take Ibuprofeno Normon

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 questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

4. Possible adverse effects

Like all medications, this medication can cause adverse effects, although not everyone experiences them. The incidence of adverse effects is lower in short treatments and if the daily dose is below the maximum recommended dose.

The frequencies shown below refer to the short-term use of maximum daily doses of up to 1,200 mg of oral ibuprofen:

  • Common adverse effects(may affect up to 1 in 10 people): Gastrointestinal bleeding, especially in elderly patients. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, dyspepsia (disorder of gastrointestinal secretion or motility), constipation, heartburn, abdominal pain, blood in stool, vomiting with blood, headache, dizziness or instability, fatigue.
  • Uncommon adverse effects(may affect up to 1 in 100 people): Gastritis, duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, skin redness, itching or tingling of the skin, hives, purpura (purple spots on the skin), skin reactions due to light influence, hypersensitivity, paresthesia (sensation of numbness, tingling, or burning, more frequent in hands, feet, arms, or legs), drowsiness, insomnia, anxiety, hearing disorders, vision changes, rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal mucosa), inflammation of the oral mucosa with ulcer formation (mouth sores), gastrointestinal perforations, hepatitis (inflammation of the liver), liver function abnormalities, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), asthma, bronchospasm, dyspnea (difficulty breathing). Nephritis (kidney disorder), nephrotic syndrome (disorder characterized by protein in the urine and body swelling), and renal failure (sudden loss of kidney function), acute renal failure, and papillary necrosis (especially with prolonged use) associated with increased urea.
  • Rare adverse effects(may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):

Disorientation or confusion, depression, vertigo, tinnitus (ringing or sounds in the ear), hearing impairment, reversible toxic amblyopia, liver damage, edema (swelling caused by fluid accumulation in tissues), optic neuritis, anaphylactic reaction (in case of severe generalized hypersensitivity reaction, signs may include facial swelling, tongue and larynx, shortness of breath, tachycardia, hypotension (anaphylaxis, angioedema, or severe shock)), aseptic meningitis (inflammation of the meninges, which are the membranes that protect the brain and spinal cord, not caused by bacteria). In most cases where aseptic meningitis has been reported with ibuprofen, the patient suffered from some form of autoimmune disease (such as systemic lupus erythematosus and other collagen diseases), which was a risk factor. The symptoms of aseptic meningitis observed were neck stiffness, headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, or disorientation. Other adverse effects are decreased platelets, decreased white blood cells (may manifest as frequent infections with fever, chills, or sore throat), decreased red blood cells (may manifest as difficulty breathing and pale skin), neutropenia (decrease in neutrophils), and agranulocytosis (very large decrease in neutrophils), aplastic anemia (insufficiency of the bone marrow to produce different types of cells), hemolytic anemia (premature destruction of red blood cells). The first symptoms are: fever, sore throat, superficial ulcers in the mouth, pseudo-flu symptoms, extreme fatigue, bleeding, and bruises of unknown cause.

  • Very rare adverse effects(may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people): Pancreatitis, severe blistering reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (widespread erosions affecting the skin and at least two mucous membranes) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (erosions on mucous membranes and painful lesions with necrosis and desquamation of the epidermis), erythema multiforme (skin lesion). Exceptionally, severe skin infections and soft tissue complications may occur during chickenpox. Liver failure (severe liver damage), heart failure, myocardial infarction, hypertension.

Exacerbation of inflammation-related infections has been observed with the use of NSAIDs. If signs of infection or worsening of symptoms occur during the use of ibuprofen, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible.

  • Frequency not known(cannot be estimated from available data): Exacerbation of colitis and Crohn's disease (chronic disease in which the immune system attacks the intestine, causing inflammation that usually produces bloody diarrhea).

A severe skin reaction known as DRESS syndrome (by its English acronym) may occur. The symptoms of DRESS syndrome include: skin rash, lymph node inflammation, and elevated eosinophils (a type of white blood cell).

Chest pain, which can be a sign of a potentially serious allergic reaction called Kounis syndrome.

Generalized red scaly rash, with bumps under the skin and blisters, mainly on skin folds, trunk, and upper limbs, accompanied by fever at the start of treatment (acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis) and the skin becomes sensitive to light. Stop taking Ibuprofeno Normon if you experience these symptoms and seek medical attention immediately. See also section 2.

If any of the following adverse effects occur, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor immediately:

  • Allergic reactions such as skin rashes, facial swelling, wheezing in the chest, or difficulty breathing.
  • Vomiting blood or coffee grounds-like material.
  • Blood in stool or bloody diarrhea.
  • Severe stomach pain.
  • Severe skin peeling or blistering.
  • Severe or persistent headache.
  • Yellowing of the skin (jaundice).

  • Swelling of the limbs or fluid accumulation in the arms or legs.
  • Red, non-raised, target-like, or circular spots on the trunk, often with blisters in the center, skin peeling, mouth sores, throat, nose, genitals, and eyes. These severe skin rashes can be preceded by fever and flu-like symptoms [exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis].
  • Generalized skin rash, elevated body temperature, and swollen lymph nodes (DRESS syndrome).
  • Generalized red scaly rash, with bumps under the skin and blisters, accompanied by fever. The symptoms usually appear at the start of treatment (acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis).
