  • in children under 12 years of age. Ibu Sandoz has not been tested for use in children under the age of 12.

When should you be careful when taking Ibu Sandoz?

During treatment with Ibu Sandoz, ulcers in the mucous membranes of the upper gastrointestinal tract, rarely bleeding or, in isolated cases, perforations (perforations in the stomach or intestines) may occur. These complications can occur at any time during treatment, even without warning symptoms. To reduce this risk, the smallest effective dose should be used over the shortest possible duration of therapy. Contact your doctor if you have stomach pain and suspect it is related to taking the medicine or if you have an infection - see below under 'Infection'.

For certain painkillers, the so-called COX-2 inhibitors, an increased risk of heart attack and stroke has been found at high doses and/or long-term treatment. This risk can also be slightly increased with Ibu Sandoz at a high dose (2400 mg/day). However, at the usual dosage (maximum 1200 mg/day), no increase in this risk was found.

If you have already had a heart attack, stroke or venous thrombosis, the use of high doses of Ibu Sandoz is no longer recommended. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment and always tell your doctor if you have had a heart attack, stroke or thrombosis in a vein, or if you have risk factors (such as high blood pressure, diabetes (sugar diabetes), high blood fat levels, Smoking. Your doctor will decide if you can still use Ibu Sandoz and what dose is right for you.

Taking Ibu Sandoz can affect the way your kidneys work, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure and/or fluid retention (oedema). Tell your doctor if you have heart or kidney disease, if you are taking medicines to treat high blood pressure (e.g. diuretics, ACE inhibitors) or if you lose more fluids, e.g. through heavy sweating.

This medicine may impair your ability to react, the ability to drive and the ability to use tools or machines! This is especially true when taken with alcohol.

Caution is indicated in patients with a history of gastric or duodenal ulcers, impaired liver, kidney or heart function, blood clotting disorders, and in patients suffering from asthma, chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa (chronic runny nose), allergic diseases or certain rheumatic diseases (lupus erythematosus or collagen diseases).

Serious skin reactions have been reported in association with medicines containing ibuprofen. You should stop taking Ibu Sandoz and see a doctor straight away if you develop a rash, mucosal lesions, blisters or any other sign of allergy, as these can be the first signs of a very serious skin reaction. The highest risk of such reactions appears to be at the beginning of therapy. If you develop a skin rash, lesions on the mucous membranes, blisters or any other sign of allergy, you should stop taking Ibu Sandoz and seek medical attention immediately, as these may be the first signs of a very serious skin reaction (see the section «What side effects can Ibu Sandoz have? »).

Ibu Sandoz should not be used if you have chickenpox.

Infections

Ibu Sandoz may mask signs of infections such as fever and pain. It is therefore possible that Ibu Sandoz may delay adequate treatment of the infection, which may lead to an increased risk of complications. This has been seen in bacterial pneumonia and bacterial skin infections associated with chickenpox. If you are taking this medicine during an infection and your infection symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor immediately.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and the medicines listed above can interact.

In particular, long-term treatment with Ibu Sandoz may reduce the cardioprotective effect of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid.

Acetylsalicylic acid or other pain relievers should not be taken at the same time as ibuprofen as the risk of side effects may be increased.

Side effects, particularly those affecting the gastrointestinal tract or the central nervous system, can be increased if alcohol is consumed at the same time.

Prolonged use of painkillers can cause headaches. Do not treat them with an increased dose of the drug, but inform your doctor.
