How to use

Storage instructions:
Store below 25 degrees C.

Warnings:
Contra-indications:Nurofen period pain should not be given to patients with peptic ulceration, a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation (PUBs) related to previous NSAID use. Active or history of recurrent ulcer, haemorrhage or perforations.Hypersensitivity to ibuprofen, aspirin or any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent.Because of the possibility, of cross-sensitivity due to structural relationships which exist among non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines, acute allergic reactions may be more likely to occur in patients who have exhibited allergic reactions such as worsening of asthma, rhinitis or urticaria, tothese compounds.Use of NSAID's is contra-indicated in patients with heart failure.Caution is required in patients with a history of hypertension and/or heart failure as fluid retention and oedema have been reported in association with NSAID therapy.Elderly: the elderly have an increased frequency of adverse reactions to NSAID's, especially gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation (PUBs) which may be fatal.The risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation (PUBs) is higher with increasing doses of NSAID's, in patients with a history of ulcers, and the elderly. When gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration occurs in patients receiving an NSAID, treatment with NSAID's should be stopped.NSAID should be given with caution to patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease (e.g. ulcerative colitis, crohn's disease, hiatus hernia, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, angiodysplasia) as the condition may be exacerbated.Serious skin reactions, some of them fatal, including exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reportedly.NSAID use should be discontinued at the first appearance of skin rash, mucosal lesions, or any other sign of hypersensitivity.Interactions:Nurofen period pain should not be taken without consulting a doctor or pharmacist if you are presently taking coumarin anticoagulants as it may enhance the effects of anti-coagulants such as warfarin, antihypertensive diuretics, lithium, methotrexate.Interaction between NSAID's and corticosteroids can cause an increased risk of gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding (PUBs).Interaction between NSAID's and anti-platelet agents and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's) can increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.Use of two or more NSAID's concomitantly could result in an increase in side effects.Pregnancy and lactation:The safety of Nurofen period pain in pregnancy has not been established.Side-effects and special precautions:The most frequent side-effects occurring with ibuprofen are gastro-intestinal in nature. Peptic ulcers, perforation or gastrointestinal bleeding, sometimes fatal. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, flatulence, constipation, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, melaena, haematemesis, ulcerative stomatitis, exacerbation of colitis and Crohn's disease, gastritis. Cardiovascular side-effects include: oedema, hypertension and cardiac failure.CNS-related side-effects include: headache, dizziness, nervousness, tinnitus, depression, drowsiness, and insomnia. Hypersensitivity reactions may occur less frequently and include fever and rashes. Hepotobxicity and aseptic meningitis which occur less frequently may also be hypersensitivity reactions. Ibuprofen can provoke bronchospasm in patients with asthma. Ibuprofen may cause cystitis and haematuria. It may also cause acute renal failure, interstitial nephritis, and nephrotic syndrome.Other side-effects include anaemias, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, eosinophilia, agranulocytosis, abnormalities in liver function tests, blurred vision, changes in visual colour perception, and toxic amblyopia. Bullous reactions, including stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis.Special precautions:Nurofen period pain should be given with care to the elderly, to patients with asthma or bronchospasm, bleeding disorders, cardiovascular disease, a history of peptic ulceration, and in liver or renal failure. Patients with congestive heart failure, cirrnosis, diuretic-induced volume depletion, or renal insufficiency require local synthesis of vasodilating prostaglandins to maintain renal perfusion, and therefore these patients are at greater risk of developing renal dysfunction due to NSAID-induced inhibition of renal prostagladin synthesis. If you suffer from any of the above conditions, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Nurofen period pain.Ibuprofen should be discontinued in patients who experience blurred or diminished vision, or changes in colour vision.Patients with collagen disease may be at increased risk of developing aseptic meningitis.Known symptoms of overdosage and particulars of its treatment:The most likely symptoms of overdosage are pain in the upper and middle region of the stomach, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, hypotension, drowsiness and rarely, loss of consciousness. If recently taken, gastric lavage will remove any unabsorbed ibuprofen. Electrolytes may be corrected by intravenous infusions, if necessary. There is no specific antidote to nurofen period pain.Keep out of reach of children.
