Ibuprofen-Hemofarm tablets can be taken after meals. The dosage is selected by the doctor in each case individually, taking into account concomitant diseases and the general condition of the patient's body.

Before use, effervescent tablets should be dissolved in 200 ml of water and immediately drink.

• Adult patients are prescribed 1-2 effervescent tablets per reception, 6-8 tablets are allowed per day. The interval between doses should be at least 4 hours.
• Children from 6 to 12 years of age are prescribed 200 mg 2-4 times a day. Take no more than 4 tablets per day.

If after several days of therapy the symptoms of the disease do not subside, you will have to visit a doctor and discuss this issue. You will either need to reconsider the dosage or choose another medicine.

Adverse Events During Treatment

If the dosage and treatment regimen are not followed, then undesirable manifestations are possible. Side effects are also possible if contraindications are not taken into account, and the characteristics of the body for each patient are different, therefore, the reaction to treatment may be ambiguous. Among the side effects, most often patients note the following:

1. The gastrointestinal tract may respond:

• Digestive upset.

Therapy "Ibuprofen" during pregnancy

Ibuprofen-Hemofarm (from which we have already found out these pills) can be taken in the early stages of gestation only if the benefit to the mother is much more than the possible harm to the baby. In the last months of pregnancy, using the drug for therapy is generally not recommended.

If a woman is breastfeeding a newborn, then a single use of the drug as an anesthetic is quite possible, but if long-term therapy is necessary, you should think about stopping breastfeeding.

Drug interaction with other drugs

When starting treatment with Ibuprofen-Hemofarm, it is necessary to consider its interaction with other drugs:

• The drug is able to reduce the effect of antihypertensive drugs and diuretics.
• Concomitant use with anticoagulants enhances their effect.
• The risk of developing unwanted effects on the part of the gastrointestinal tract increases when used together with corticosteroids.
• "Ibuprofen" reduces the effect of the drug "Amlodipine", which is prescribed for hypertension.
• Admission together with acetylsalicylic acid reduces the concentration of the active substance "Ibuprofen".
• The drug may enhance the toxic effects of Baclofen.
• Concomitant use with Warfarin may increase bleeding time.
• Captopril will reduce its therapeutic effect if taken in conjunction with Ibuprofen.
• The drug provokes an increase in lithium concentration, if the therapy is conducted in conjunction with the intake of "lithium carbonate."
• Therapy with antidepressants, barbiturates together with Ibuprofen is fraught with the development of severe intoxications.
• “Caffeine” enhances the analgesic effect.
• If antacids are taken simultaneously with Ibuprofen, then the adsorption of the drug is reduced.
• Combined therapy with “Citatopram”, “Fluoxetine”, “Paroxetine” is fraught with the development of serious bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
• The risk of developing hypoprothrombinemia is increased if, along with Ibuprofen, Cefamandol, Cefaperazone, Cefotetan and Valproic Acid are taken.
• "Cyclosporin" and preparations containing gold ions in its composition increase the effect of "Ibuprofen" on the formation of prostaglandins in the kidneys, which can manifest itself in the development of nephrotoxicity.
• Ibuprofen Hemofarm increases the concentration of Cyclosporin and the risk of hepatotoxic effects.

If you go to the doctor and not self-medicate, then he will tell in detail not only Ibuprofen-Hemofarm that helps, but he will also explain with what drugs this medicine should not be combined.

Patient reviews about the drug

Most of those who used this drug in the treatment of various pathologies respond positively about it. Patients note that the drug acts much faster than the usual "Ibuprofen." Helps to cope with pain of various origins.

It is also noted that the appearance of pain in the stomach is possible, but some patients note that they can be avoided if you take the medicine after eating. Therapy of serious pathologies 100% can not get rid of them, but the manifestation of symptoms can be completely reduced.

It is also noted that effervescent tablets begin to exert their therapeutic effect much faster than in a film coating.

Doctors also have a fairly good opinion about the drug, but clarify that the dosage and treatment regimen should be strictly observed.

Summarizing all of the above, we can conclude that the appointment of any treatment should be done only by a specialist, even if this applies to such a common medicine as Ibuprofen-Hemofarm.

What the remedy helps with and what are the contraindications and possible side effects - we talked about all this above. Nevertheless, it is always necessary to remember that self-medication does not lead to anything good, there are no universal remedies that would help everyone equally, therefore, for any disease, you need to rush to the doctor for advice, and not to girlfriends and neighbors. Take care of your health and be more attentive to it.
