Caution is required in patients with renal, cardiac or hepatic impairment. In patients with renal impairment, renal function should be monitored since it may deteriorate following the use of any NSAID.
Bronchospasm may be precipitated in patients suffering from, or with a previous history of bronchial asthma or allergic disease.
The elderly are at increased risk of consequences of the serious consequence of adverse reactions.
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms (see GI and cardiovascular risks below).
Caution (discussion with doctor or pharmacist) is required prior to starting treatment in patients with a history of hypertension and/or heart failure as fluid retention, hypertension and oedema have been reported in association with NSAID therapy.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular effects
Clinical trial and epidemiological data suggest that use of ibuprofen, particularly at high doses (2400mg daily) and in long-term treatment may be associated with a small increased risk of arterial thrombotic events (for example myocardial infarction or stroke). Overall, epidemiological studies do not suggest that low dose ibuprofen (e.g. 1200mg daily) is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction.
The label will state:
Do not use if you have ever had a stomach ulcer or are allergic to ibuprofen (or any of the ingredients of the product) or aspirin. If you are allergic to or are taking any other painkiller, pregnant, or suffer from asthma speak to your doctor before taking Nurofen Migraine Pain/Nurofen Tension Headache. Do not exceed the stated dose. Keep out of the reach of children. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
