Ibum Supermax 600 mg, 20 softgels

Ibum Supermax contains ibuprofen – a substance from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects.

This drug is indicated for occasional, short-term use in adults for acute, moderate pain of various origins:

• headaches (including migraines),
• toothache,
• muscle and bone pain (including back pain),
• post-traumatic and post-operative pain, including pain related to dental procedures,
• neuralgia,
• painful menstruation.

The drug is also indicated for the symptomatic treatment of pain in joint diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis), degenerative joint diseases (e.g. osteoarthritis) in adults. The drug is intended for use as a continuation of treatment in diagnosed patients.

The active substance is ibuprofen. One soft capsule contains 600 mg of ibuprofen.

• Other ingredients (excipients) are: macrogol 400, potassium hydroxide 50%,
• capsule shell: gelatin, partially dehydrated liquid sorbitol, quinoline yellow (E 104), patent blue (E 131).

Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

The medicine is taken orally. The capsule should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.

Adults

The recommended dose is 600 mg of ibuprofen (1 capsule) once. If necessary, a single dose of 600 mg (1 capsule) can be repeated, maintaining an interval of 6 – 8 hours. The maximum daily dose, without consulting a doctor, should not exceed 1200 mg (2 capsules).

IBUM SUPERMAX should only be used if the patient does not feel any improvement after taking 400 mg of ibuprofen (maximum 1200 mg of ibuprofen per day). In this case, a dose of 600 mg of ibuprofen can be used taking into account the interval of 6-8 hours from taking the dose of 400 mg.

The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest time necessary to relieve symptoms. This reduces the risk of side effects.

If symptoms of infection (such as fever and pain) persist or worsen, consult a doctor immediately (see section 2). If this medicine is required for longer than 3 days or if symptoms worsen, consult a doctor.

Elderly people

Do not use without consulting a doctor. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should be used with caution, especially in elderly patients who are more prone to adverse reactions and are at risk of potentially fatal gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration and perforation.

Kidney or liver disorders

Do not use without consulting a doctor. There is no need to adjust the dose in patients with mild to moderate renal or hepatic impairment. However, in these patients it is recommended to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time necessary to control symptoms.
