Beskrivelse

Advil indeholder ibuprofen, et lægemiddel der bruges til at lindre smerte, reducere hævelse og sænke feber. Det er en del af en gruppe af lægemidler kaldet ikke-steroide antiinflammatoriske lægemidler. Ibuprofen virker ved at blokere enzymer kaldet cyclooxygenaser (COX), som er involveret i produktionen af prostaglandiner. Disse er naturlige stoffer, der spiller en rolle i at forårsage smerte, betændelse og feber. Ved at sænke niveauerne af prostaglandiner kan ibuprofen lindre almindelige symptomer som hovedpine, muskelsmerter eller ledsmerter.

Effekten begynder normalt inden for 30 til 45 minutter. Det kan begynde at virke lidt hurtigere på en tom mave, men at tage det med mad kan hjælpe med at beskytte maveslimhinden. Efter at være blevet absorberet, spreder lægemidlet sig i hele kroppen og når også ledvæsken, hvilket er grunden til, at det kan hjælpe med tilstande som arthritis. Kroppen fjerner ibuprofen gennem nyrerne. Lægemidlet forbliver aktivt i kroppen i et par timer (Ibuprofen har en halveringstid på omkring 2 til 4 timer, hvilket betyder, at dets virkninger typisk varer i 4 til 6 timer), og voksne kan tage det hver sjette til ottende time, hvis det er nødvendigt. (Den maksimale håndkøbsdosis for voksne er 1.200 milligram.)

Da prostaglandiner også understøtter maveslimhinden og nyrefunktionen, er det vigtigt at bruge ibuprofen med forsigtighed. Brug den laveste effektive dosis i den kortest mulige tid. At tage det med mad, drikke tilstrækkeligt med væsker og undgåt tung alkoholbrug kan hjælpe med at reducere risikoen for maveproblemer. Personer over 60 år eller med en historie med mavesår eller gastrointestinal blødning kan blive rådet til at bruge et beskyttende lægemiddel eller gastrobeskyttende medicin, såsom en protonpumpehæmmer, sammen med ibuprofen.
