ibuprofen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ibuprofen Actavis belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory \/ anti-rheumatic medicines) and has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ibuprofen Actavis 200 mg is used for temporary mild to moderate pain conditions, e.g. headaches, including migraine headaches, toothaches, muscle, and joint pain, back problems, menstrual cramps, and fever in colds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ibuprofen contained in Ibuprofen Actavis may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ibuprofen Actavis 200 mg should not be given to children under 6 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Higher doses than those recommended can lead to serious risks. Do not use different types of painkillers at the same time without a doctor’s prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not use if you have or have had stomach ulcers or if you are hypersensitive to acetylsalicylic acid. If you have asthma, you should consult a doctor before using Ibuprofen Actavis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk to your doctor before taking Ibuprofen Actavis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Older<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are older, the risk of side effects increases, especially bleeding or perforation (holes) in the gastrointestinal wall. This can be life-threatening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sores, holes ( perforation ), and bleeding in the stomach or intestines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a history of stomach or intestinal ulcers, especially if it is complicated by perforation or bleeding, you should be aware of abnormal symptoms from the stomach and contact a doctor immediately, especially if the symptoms occur at the beginning of treatment. The reason for this is that the risk of bleeding or ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract in such cases is increased, especially in elderly patients. If bleeding or ulcers occur, treatment should be discontinued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bleeding, ulceration, or perforation in the gastrointestinal wall may occur without prior signs, even in patients who have not had such problems before. These conditions can be life-threatening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The risk of ulcers, holes ( perforation ), and bleeding in the gastrointestinal wall usually increases with a higher dose of ibuprofen. The risk may also increase if certain other medicines are used at the same time as ibuprofen (see section \u201cOther medicines and Ibuprofen Actavis\u201d below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skin reactions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Serious skin reactions have been reported with Ibuprofen Actavis. You should immediately stop taking Ibuprofen Actavis and seek medical attention if you develop any rash, sores on the mucous membranes, blisters, or other signs of allergy, as these may be the first signs of a very serious skin reaction. See section 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Infection is<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen Actavis can hide signs of infection such as fever and pain. Therefore, Ibuprofen Actavis may delay the appropriate treatment of infection and increase the risk of complications. This has been observed in pneumonia caused by bacteria and in bacterial skin infections associated with chickenpox. If you are taking this medicine while you have an infection and the symptoms of infection persist or worsen, contact your doctor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For chickenpox, the drug should not be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Impact on heart and brain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Anti-inflammatory\/analgesic drugs such as ibuprofen may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack or stroke, especially when using high doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose or treatment time (For adults: 3 days for fever or migraine headache and after 5 days for pain, for children and adolescents: 3 days for fever and pain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should discuss your treatment with a doctor or pharmacist before taking Ibuprofen Actavis if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kidney impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen can affect kidney function even in patients who have not had kidney problems before. This can cause swollen bones and also lead to heart failure or high blood pressure in sensitive individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen can cause kidney damage, especially in patients who already have kidney, heart, or liver problems or who use diuretics ( diuretics ) or ACE inhibitors (antihypertensives) and in the elderly. Discontinuation of ibuprofen treatment usually leads to recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aseptic meningitis ( meningitis without bacterial infection )<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During treatment with ibuprofen, some cases of meningitis have been reported (with symptoms such as neck stiffness, headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, and confusion). Although it is probably more likely to occur in patients with autoimmune diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus or a combination of connective tissue diseases, it has also been reported in patients without underlying chronic disease<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other precautions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During long-term treatment with high-dose painkillers, headaches may occur. This should not be treated with high doses of this medicine. Habitual use of painkillers can cause kidney damage and the risk of kidney failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen may temporarily prolong the bleeding time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen Actavis may make it harder for you to get pregnant. Talk to your doctor if you are planning to become pregnant or if you have difficulty getting pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not used for children under 6 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact a doctor before using Ibuprofen Actavis if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the child has a fever<\/strong> contact a doctor if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen can cause kidney problems in children and adolescents who are dehydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have recently taken or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The risk of side effects from Ibuprofen Actavis may increase with the concomitant use of certain other medicines. Ibuprofen Actavis may increase or decrease the effect of other medicines, or increase the risk of side effects when used concomitantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen Actavis may affect or be affected by certain other medicines. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some other medicines may also affect or be affected by treatment with Ibuprofen Actavis. You should therefore always consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Ibuprofen Actavis with other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen Actavis should be swallowed with a glass of water during or after a meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alcohol should be avoided as it may aggravate the side effects of Ibuprofen Actavis, especially in the stomach, intestines, or brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pregnant women should not use Ibuprofen Actavis during the last three months of pregnancy as it may cause major heart, lung, and kidney damage to the fetus. Use during the end of pregnancy can cause an increased tendency to bleed in both mother and child and weaken the force of the uterine contractions and thus delay the birth. Taking Ibuprofen Actavis should be avoided by women planning a pregnancy or are pregnant. Treatment during any part of the pregnancy should only be done after a doctor’s prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen can make it difficult to get pregnant. Talk to your doctor if you are planning to become pregnant or if you are having difficulty getting pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen passes into breast milk but is unlikely to affect the breast-fed baby. Small amounts of Ibuprofen Actavis pass into breast milk and breastfeeding usually does not need to be stopped during short-term treatment. However, when longer-term treatment is prescribed, early discontinuation of breastfeeding should be considered. Talk to your doctor if you need more than temporary use of Ibuprofen Actavis during breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ibuprofen does not usually affect your ability to drive or use machines. However, high-dose treatment can cause side effects in the form of fatigue, decreased level of consciousness, dizziness (reported as common), and visual disturbances (reported as uncommon) that may affect the ability to drive and use machines in individuals. These effects are exacerbated by concomitant alcohol intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention. One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or side effects. Descriptions of these effects and side effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) sodium per tablet, ie it is essentially ‘sodium-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest possible time to relieve symptoms. Contact a doctor if you have an infection and the symptoms (such as fever and pain) persist or worsen (see section 2):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Occasional mild to moderate pain and fever in colds<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Adults and adolescents over 12 years (over 40 kg):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The maximum daily dose should not exceed 6 tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dose and be taken as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 tablet if needed 1-4 times a day at least 4-6 hours apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n or:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 tablets if needed 1-3 times a day at least 4-6 hours apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More than 2 tablets at a time do not provide a better analgesic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children 6-9 years (20-29 kg):<\/em> 1 tablet if needed 1-3 times a day at least 4-6 hours apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The maximum daily dose should not exceed 3 tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children 10-12 years (30-40 kg):<\/em> 1 tablet if needed 1-4 times a day at least 4-6 hours apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The maximum daily dose should not exceed 4 tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Migraine headache<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Adults and adolescents over 12 years (over 40 kg):<\/em> 2 tablets if necessary 1-3 times a day at least 4-6 hours apart.

To facilitate swallowing or to adjust the dose, the tablets can be divided into two equal doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Older<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Elderly people are at greater risk of side effects, especially bleeding and perforation in the gastrointestinal tract, which can be life-threatening.
