Pain & Inflammation
How it works
Dexibuprofen, a racemic ibuprofen belongs to a family of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Like other NSAIDs, dexibuprofen acts by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. It reduces pain, inflammation and fever and reversibly inhibits ADP and collagen stimulated platelet aggregation.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution
The use of dexibuprofen with concomitant NSAIDs including cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors should be avoided. Care is recommended in conditions that predispose patients to the gastrointestinal adverse effects of NSAIDs. These patients should be closely monitored for digestive disturbances, especially gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation & ulceration.
WARNINGS
Warning 1
Appropriate monitoring and advice are required for patients with a history of hypertension and/or mild to moderate congestive heart failure as fluid retention and edema have been reported in association with NSAID therapy. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure, established ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, and/or cerebrovascular disease should only be treated with dexibuprofen after careful consideration.
Warning 2
If used in the patients with renal or hepatic disease, the dose of dexibuprofen should be kept as low as possible and renal function should be regularly monitored.
Warning 3
Dexibuprofen should only be given with care to patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective tissue disease because such patients may be predisposed to NSAID-induced renal and CNS side effects, including aseptic meningitis.
