Ibugesic 300 mg Capsule SR

Ibugesic 300 mg Capsule SR is a sustained-release ibuprofen medicine used to help relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Each capsule contains 300 mg of ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and the pack contains 10 capsules in strip/box packaging. It is commonly used for aches and pains such as muscle pain, joint pain, dental pain, headache, and menstrual pain when a prescriber thinks a longer-acting NSAID is appropriate.

How it works: Ibuprofen works by blocking chemicals in the body called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and fever. In the capsule SR form, the medicine is released more slowly, so the effect may last longer than a standard immediate-release capsule.

Ibugesic 300 mg Capsule SR is a 300 mg strength, so it is not a low-dose over-the-counter style option and should be used only when a doctor has assessed that this dose and sustained-release form fit the patient’s needs. The SR capsule is designed to release ibuprofen gradually, which may help maintain pain relief over time compared with immediate-release forms.

• Swallow Ibugesic 300 mg Capsule SR whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it.
• Take it with food or milk if it upsets your stomach.
• Follow the exact timing your doctor prescribed, because the SR capsule is meant to release medicine slowly.
• Do not take extra doses for faster relief.
• Avoid combining it with other ibuprofen or NSAID products unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Take it at about the same time each day if your prescriber has you on a regular schedule.

Each Ibugesic 300 mg Capsule SR provides 300 mg of ibuprofen in a sustained-release capsule. How often it may be taken depends on the reason for use, your age, and your medical history, and the doctor decides the schedule; do not exceed the daily limit your prescriber gives you, since total ibuprofen exposure must stay within safe bounds.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
