IBUPAN PLUS TAB

Uses of IBUPAN PLUS TAB

IBUPAN PLUS TAB is indicated for the symptomatic relief of mild to moderate pain and fever associated with various conditions.

• Headache and Migraine

  Effectively alleviates tension headaches, cluster headaches, and provides relief from the throbbing pain associated with mild to moderate migraines, helping you resume normal activities. It targets the root cause of pain and offers quick comfort.

• Muscle and Joint Pain

  Offers significant relief from muscle aches, sprains, strains, and joint pain often associated with arthritis, minor injuries, or overexertion. It helps reduce discomfort and inflammation, improving mobility and overall well-being.

• Fever and Flu Symptoms

  Works as an antipyretic to reduce elevated body temperature and provides relief from general malaise, body aches, and discomfort commonly experienced during colds and flu. It helps in managing the symptomatic burden of viral infections.

Side Effects of IBUPAN PLUS TAB

Like all medicines, IBUPAN PLUS TAB can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Most side effects are mild and temporary and resolve on their own.

Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. Be vigilant for any unusual or severe reactions.

If you experience any persistent or severe side effects, stop taking the medication and consult your doctor immediately. Do not ignore any signs of serious adverse reactions.

How to use IBUPAN PLUS TAB

• Adults:

  Typically, one tablet every 4-6 hours as needed, not exceeding 3-4 tablets in 24 hours, or as directed by a physician. Swallow whole with water, preferably after food to minimize stomach upset and enhance absorption.

• Children:

  Not recommended for children under 12 years of age without medical supervision. For older children (12-18 years), dosage should be strictly as prescribed by a pediatrician, based on age, weight, and specific condition. Self-medication is not advised.

• Elderly:

  Elderly patients may be more susceptible to side effects. A lower dose or extended dosing interval may be recommended by the doctor. Close monitoring for adverse effects, especially gastrointestinal and renal, is advised.

• Missed Dose:

  If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up, as this increases the risk of side effects.

How IBUPAN PLUS TAB works

IBUPAN PLUS TAB leverages the distinct yet complementary mechanisms of its two active ingredients. Ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), primarily works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are natural substances in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes responsible for prostaglandin synthesis, Ibuprofen reduces these symptoms effectively. Paracetamol, on the other hand, is an analgesic and antipyretic that primarily acts on the central nervous system. While its exact mechanism is not fully understood, it is believed to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in the brain and spinal cord, thereby elevating the pain threshold and reducing fever. This central action complements Ibuprofen's peripheral anti-inflammatory effects, providing comprehensive relief from pain and fever. The combination ensures a broader spectrum of action against various types of discomfort.

Precautions

• Inform your doctor if you have a history of allergies to Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, or any other NSAIDs.
• Use with caution if you have a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, or gastrointestinal issues.
• Patients with asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney or liver problems should consult a doctor before use.
• Avoid concomitant use with other NSAIDs or Paracetamol-containing products to prevent overdose and increased side effects.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose as it can lead to serious side effects, especially liver damage with Paracetamol.
• Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience signs of stomach bleeding (black stools, vomiting blood).

Safety Advice

Alcohol

CAUTION

It is advisable to limit or avoid alcohol consumption while taking IBUPAN PLUS TAB. Alcohol can increase the risk of stomach irritation and liver damage, especially when combined with Paracetamol, potentially exacerbating gastrointestinal side effects.

Pregnancy

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

IBUPAN PLUS TAB should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and under strict medical supervision. Ibuprofen is generally not recommended in the third trimester due to potential risks to the fetus. Always consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR

Both Ibuprofen and Paracetamol pass into breast milk in small amounts. While generally considered safe for short-term use, it's best to consult your doctor before using IBUPAN PLUS TAB if you are breastfeeding to assess any potential risks to the infant.

Driving

SAFE

IBUPAN PLUS TAB generally does not impair your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, if you experience dizziness, drowsiness, or visual disturbances, it is advisable to avoid driving or tasks requiring alertness until you feel well.

Kidney

CAUTION

Use IBUPAN PLUS TAB with caution if you have pre-existing kidney conditions. NSAIDs like Ibuprofen can affect kidney function, especially with prolonged use or in dehydrated individuals. Regular monitoring may be required, and dose adjustment might be necessary under medical supervision.

Liver

CAUTION

Patients with liver disease should use IBUPAN PLUS TAB with caution. Paracetamol, especially in high doses or with chronic alcohol use, can cause liver damage. Consult your doctor for appropriate dosage and monitoring of liver function during treatment.
