R05X • ibuprofen + pseudoephedrine • Respiratory system | Other cold preparations

The combination of ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine is used to relieve symptoms associated with colds and flu, such as nasal congestion, headaches, fever, muscle pain, and inflammation. This combination combines the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of ibuprofen with the decongestant effect of pseudoephedrine.

- Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain, inflammation, and fever. It is effective for relieving muscle pain, headaches, and fever associated with colds or flu.
- Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal mucosa, reducing congestion and making breathing easier.

This combination should be used with caution, especially in individuals with high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, or thyroid disorders, as pseudoephedrine can increase blood pressure and heart rate. Side effects may include insomnia, nervousness, nausea, or stomach discomfort. It is important to take it as directed by a doctor or pharmacist and avoid long-term use.
