Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) from the same family as aspirin and naproxen. Because of this, ensure you aren't taking ibuprofen alongside other anti-inflammatories, which can upset your stomach.

Ibuprofen's anti-inflammatory effect works by blocking the body's production of substances called "prostaglandins", which are released in response to illness or injury. Prostaglandins can cause pain and inflammation to notify the person they are unwell. They can reduce pain, inflammation, and even fever by stopping prostaglandin production.

Ibuprofen also has a minor antiplatelet effect, which means it stops the blood from clotting. Seek the advice of your pharmacist or doctor if you are on any medications that may affect bleeding.

Some people are bound to get unwanted side effects, as with any medication. Some of the common ones include indigestion and heartburn, as ibuprofen can irritate the lining of the stomach, especially when taken for more than a few days. If you are taking ibuprofen regularly or getting side effects, then you should stop and speak to your doctor about stomach protection to prevent stomach ulcers.

Like all medications, don't take them if you have previously had an allergic reaction to the medication or if you have any medical conditions that you would typically discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before starting something new.

If you are asthmatic and haven't had anti-inflammatories, they can sometimes cause an acute asthma attack. Do not take ibuprofen if you are trying to get pregnant or are already pregnant, as there is not enough information about safety during pregnancy.
