Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take ibuprofen:
Infections
Ibuprofen Winadol may hide the signs of an infection, such as fever and pain. Consequently, Ibuprofen Winadol 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 present any skin rash, lesions in the mucous membranes, 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 immediate medical attention if you notice any of the symptoms related to these severe skin reactions described in section 4.
It is important that you use the smallest dose that relieves/control the pain and do not take this medication for longer than necessary to control your symptoms.
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.
Children and adolescents
In dehydrated children and adolescents, there is a risk of kidney failure.
Cardiovascular precautions
Anti-inflammatory/analgesic medications like ibuprofen may be associated with a small increased risk of having 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:
Similarly, this type of medication 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 had a history of bronchial asthma, chronic rhinitis, or allergic diseases, as ibuprofen has been reported to cause bronchospasm, urticaria, or angioedema in such patients.
Precautions during pregnancy and in women of childbearing age
Because the administration of ibuprofen-like 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 ibuprofen is contraindicated.
For women of childbearing age, it should be taken into account that ibuprofen-like medications have been associated with a decrease in fertility.
Using Ibuprofen Winadol with other medications
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medications.
Ibuprofen may affect or be affected by other medications. For example:
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.
Interference with laboratory tests
Taking ibuprofen may alter the following laboratory tests:
Tell your doctor if you are going to undergo a clinical analysis and are taking or have recently taken ibuprofen.
Taking Ibuprofen Winadol with food, drinks, and alcohol
You can take it alone or with food. In general, it is recommended to take it during or after meals or with milk to reduce the possibility of stomach upset. You should avoid consuming alcohol when being treated with ibuprofen.
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 Winadol 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 your and your baby's ability to clot and prolong or prolong delivery more than expected. You should not take Ibuprofen Winadol 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 Winadol may cause kidney problems in your fetus if taken for more than a few days, which may cause low levels of the fluid that surrounds 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.
The use of this medication is not recommended in women who are trying to become pregnant.
Do not take ibuprofen during pregnancy, especially during the third trimester (see section "Precautions during pregnancy and in women of childbearing age").
Although only small amounts of the medication pass into breast milk, it is recommended not to take ibuprofen for prolonged periods during breastfeeding.
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 operate hazardous machinery. If you only take one dose of ibuprofen or for a short period, you do not need to take special precautions.
Ibuprofen may delay your reaction time; this should be taken into account before performing activities that require greater vigilance, such as driving and using machinery.
This applies to a greater extent in combination with alcohol.
Ibuprofen Winadolcontains lactose
If your doctor has told you that you have an intolerance to some sugars, consult with them before taking this medicine.
Follow the administration instructions for this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.
Your doctor will indicate the duration of treatment with ibuprofen. Do not stop treatment beforehand, as this will not achieve the expected results. Similarly, do not use this medication for longer than indicated by your doctor.
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).
Method of administration

At high doses, symptoms of drowsiness, chest pain, palpitations, loss of consciousness, convulsions (mainly in children), weakness, and dizziness, blood in the urine, chills, and breathing problems have been reported. In rare cases, there have been cases of increased blood plasma acidity (metabolic acidosis), decreased body temperature, altered kidney function, stomach and intestinal bleeding, low potassium levels in the blood, coma, transient loss of breathing (apnea), central nervous system depression, and respiratory system. There have also been cases of cardiovascular toxicity (decreased blood pressure, decreased and increased heart rate).
If a severe poisoning has occurred, kidney failure and liver damage may occur. In these cases, the doctor will take the necessary measures.
In case of ingestion of significant amounts, activated charcoal should be administered. Stomach emptying will be considered if more than 400 mg/kg has been ingested and within 60 minutes after ingestion.
