Dexibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat pain and inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, muscle pain, or menstrual cramps. It is the active form of ibuprofen and has similar efficacy but at a lower dose.
The medication is taken orally, usually 2-3 times a day, depending on the severity of symptoms. It is important to take it after meals to reduce the risk of gastric irritation.
Side effects may include nausea, heartburn, abdominal pain, or dizziness. In rare cases, more severe adverse effects such as gastric ulcers or severe allergic reactions may occur.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications they are taking and avoid long-term use without medical supervision. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a specialist before use.
