Ibugesic 400 mg Tablet

Ibugesic 400 mg Tablet is an ibuprofen medicine used for pain relief and inflammation. Each tablet contains 400 mg of ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is commonly used for short-term relief of headache, toothache, muscle pain, back pain, menstrual pain, and fever-related discomfort. Ibugesic 400 mg Tablet is a prescription-strength middle option in this brand range, sitting between the 200 mg and 600 mg strengths.

How it works: Ibuprofen in Ibugesic 400 mg Tablet works by blocking chemicals called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and fever. As an oral tablet, it is swallowed with water and then absorbed through the digestive system to help relieve symptoms.

Ibugesic 400 mg Tablet is the middle strength in the Ibugesic range, so it can be a practical choice when 200 mg is not enough but 600 mg is more than needed. Because it contains 400 mg in each tablet, a doctor may choose this strength for adults who need a stronger anti-inflammatory effect without moving straight to the highest available strength. It should only be used in the dose and schedule your clinician recommends.

• Headache relief
• Toothache pain
• Muscle aches
• Back pain
• Menstrual cramps
• Joint pain and inflammation

• Swallow Ibugesic 400 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it with food or milk if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.

• Follow your doctor’s timing instructions; do not take extra tablets to make the pain go away faster.
• Avoid taking it on an empty stomach if you are prone to heartburn or nausea.

Each Ibugesic 400 mg Tablet provides 400 mg of ibuprofen per dose. How often it is taken depends on the reason for use and your doctor’s instructions, but doses are usually spaced several hours apart; do not exceed the maximum daily amount your clinician recommends, and do not self-adjust to match the 200 mg or 600 mg strengths. Your doctor decides whether this middle-strength tablet is the right choice for you.

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