Back pain, particularly low back pain, is a common problem that affects people of all ages.A nationwide study found that 61.3% of people in Germany had back pain in the last twelve months.The study was conducted between October 2019 and March 2020.

Patient information

Please talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking the medicine:

• if you have an infection - see “Infections”".
• in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or mixed connective tissue disease (diseases in which incorrect immune system reactions cause joint pain, skin rashes and fever).

• in case of gastrointestinal disease, including a history (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease).
• with impaired kidney function.
• with impaired liver function.
• immediately after major surgical procedures.
• if you suffer or have suffered from asthma or allergic diseases, as shortness of breath may occur.
• in patients who suffer from hay fever, nasal polyps or chronic obstructive respiratory diseases, as they are at increased risk of allergic reactions occurring.These can manifest themselves as asthma attacks (so-called analgesic asthma), acute swelling (Quincke's edema) or hives.
• if you are taking medicines that may increase the risk of ulcers or bleeding, such as:B. oral corticosteroids, anticoagulant medications such as warfarin, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which are used, among other things, to treat depressive moods, or platelet aggregation inhibitors such as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).

Further information:

• Signs of an allergic reaction, including difficulty breathing, swelling of the face and neck (angioedema), and chest pain, have been reported with use of ibuprofen.Stop using the medicine and seek medical attention immediately if you notice any of these signs.
• Long-term use of headache medications may cause headaches to worsen.If this is the case or suspected, you should stop taking the medicine and contact your doctor.
• You should avoid taking this preparation during a chickenpox infection (varicella infection).
• If the drug is administered for a long time, regular monitoring of liver values, kidney function and blood counts is necessary.
• Simultaneous use of this preparation with other NSAR, including so-called COX-2 inhibitors (cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors), may increase the risk of side effects and should therefore be avoided.
• In general, habitual use of (various types of) painkillers can cause permanent, serious kidney damage and should therefore be avoided.The risk is further increased by salt loss and dehydration.
• There is a risk of kidney dysfunction in dehydrated adolescents.

• Side effects can be reduced by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest period of time necessary to control symptoms.Side effects are more common in older patients.
