Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals.

Ibuprofen Pregnancy Warnings

Not recommended during last trimester of pregnancy. Prior to 30 weeks gestation: Use only if potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. AU TGA pregnancy category: C US FDA pregnancy category: C Comments: -Avoid use during third trimester as it may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. -Not recommended in women attempting to conceive as may impair female fertility.

Animal studies have revealed evidence of increased risk of miscarriage, cardiac malformation, and gastroschisis following use of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors in early pregnancy. Administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during the third trimester of pregnancy may cause significant adverse effects, including premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus, oligohydramnios, fetal renal impairment, pulmonary hypertension, and prolongation of bleeding time. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Administration during labor and delivery is not recommended; onset of labor may be delayed and duration increased with greater bleeding tendency in mother and child. NSAIDs may impair female fertility; withdrawal of NSAID therapy should be considered in women with difficulties conceiving or who are undergoing investigation of infertility. AU TGA pregnancy category C: Drugs which, owing to their pharmacological effects, have caused or may be suspected of causing, harmful effects on the human fetus or neonate without causing malformations. These effects may be reversible. Accompanying texts should be consulted for further details. US FDA pregnancy category C: Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.

Ibuprofen Breastfeeding Warnings

Due to low levels in breast milk, short half-life, and therapeutic administration directly to infants at doses much higher than those excreted in breast milk, use is considered acceptable in nursing mothers; however, according to some manufacturers, use is not recommended. Limited published reports indicate that following oral administration, this drug is present in human milk at relative infant doses of 0.06% to 0.6% of the maternal weight-adjusted daily dose.

AU: Use is not recommended. UK and US: Caution is recommended. Excreted into human milk: Yes (in small amounts) Comments: This drug has been used without apparent harmful effects in the nursing infant.
