What is Ibuprofen Teva 400 mg and what is it used for?

It is a medicine in the form of soft capsules indicated for the treatment of pain in painful processes, such as menstruation, strokes, back pain, headaches or dental processes, among others. It also has an antipyretic effect, so it can be used to reduce fever.

Who it is intended for

It is indicated for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age.

Instructions for use

Take 1 capsule every 6-8 hours, depending on the intensity of the symptoms, without exceeding the amount of 1200 mg of ibuprofen / 24 hours.

It should be taken on a full stomach, although it may delay the absorption of the medicine.

In patients with impaired renal, cardiac or hepatic function, the doctor should be consulted for possible dose adjustment.

Contraindications

  • Do not use Ibuprofen Teva in children under 12 years of age or weighing less than 40 kg.

  • Do not use in case of recurrent gastrointestinal ulcer, history of gastrointestinal bleeding, severe heart failure, liver and kidney failure.

  • In case of allergy to ibuprofen or other excipients contained in this medicine, as well as in patients with asthma, rhinitis, angioedema or nasal polyps.

  • Contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy, as it may cause cardio-pulmonary and renal toxicity in the foetus. In addition, in the case of the mother, it may cause bleeding during childbirth to be more abundant and long-lasting, as well as prolonging childbirth by inhibiting uterine contractions.

  • Special care should be taken in patients with hypertension, as it may increase blood pressure.

  • Taking zidovudine in combination with zidovudine may increase the haematological risk of zidovudine.

  • Herbal extracts such as Ginkgo biloba may also interfere, as they may increase the risk of bleeding from NSAIDs.

  • Taking tacrolimus together may increase the risk of renal toxicity.

  • Phenytoin, digoxin and lithium may increase plasma levels and toxicity when taken with ibuprofen.

  • Avoid alternate use with salicylates such as salicylic acid and its derivatives due to haemorrhagic risk.

  • Taking together with ion exchange resins (cholestyramine) may cause a decrease in the absorption of the drug.

Your pharmacist's opinion

If you have mild to moderate pain caused by shock, contracture, headache, lumbago or menstrual pain, take one capsule every 6 to 8 hours as needed.

It can also be used to reduce fever when required, although the maximum daily amount of 1200 mg of ibuprofen should not be exceeded.

If after 5 days of treatment, the pain does not improve, stop the treatment and see your doctor for a clinical assessment and an appropriate adjustment of the treatment. The same procedure should be followed if feverish symptoms last longer than 3 days.
