A recent study of ibuprofen, a commonly used painkiller, is examining the risks and benefits of its use. The study, published in theJournal of the American Medical Association, analyzed the safety and efficacy of three ibuprofen formulations, namely, Ibuprofen Plus, Ibuprofen Plus Oral, and Ibuprofen Oral, which have been shown to be effective in reducing pain and improving mobility in the elderly.
“These drugs may also be associated with potential side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation and allergic reactions,” the study authors wrote. The authors concluded that, although ibuprofen was safe for most adults, it was “not an appropriate choice for patients taking a single oral dose of the drug.”
In addition, the study noted that although a single tablet of ibuprofen was effective at reducing pain and improving mobility in adults, the study also looked at the safety of using two drugs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, in combination with ibuprofen for treating pain. The researchers also found that ibuprofen was not effective in children, adolescents, or adults who were taking naproxen. Ibuprofen was effective in children and adolescents, adolescents, and adults, but it was not effective in children and adolescents who were taking the combination drug.
“This is the first study to link the safety of ibuprofen, naproxen, or ibuprofen plus ibuprofen to the development of these adverse effects,” the authors wrote.
The researchers also analyzed the adverse effects of these drugs in order to determine the best time to take the medication.
“The results suggest that ibuprofen plus naproxen may be more effective for reducing the symptoms of pain and improving mobility in the elderly,” the authors added.
The study found that patients who took ibuprofen alone were generally more likely to experience a headache, backache, muscle pain, and muscle cramps compared to those who took ibuprofen plus naproxen.
“Ibuprofen plus naproxen is not safe for the elderly,” the authors concluded.
The study also found that patients who took ibuprofen plus naproxen experienced fewer gastrointestinal side effects than those who took ibuprofen alone, though the authors note that the drugs also caused gastrointestinal problems, including nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation, and diarrhea. The researchers found that ibuprofen plus naproxen was generally not effective for pain management, although the drugs could be effective in some individuals.
