Are safety considerations limiting your use of ibuprofen? 

It’s time to set the story straight 

Take a closer look before your next OTC analgesic recommendation 

Data and messages around OTC analgesics continue to evolve, and, therefore, treatment paradigms must evolve 

as well. Take another look, and you may find that some communications are not telling the full story. When 

considering which OTC analgesic to recommend, it is important to periodically review all the evidence on risks 

and benefits as the data set continues to grow. 

OTC ibuprofen may be right for more patients than you think* 

• Clinical studies have shown when OTC ibuprofen 

is taken as directed by the label for no longer 

than 10 days, there is a very low increased risk 

of stomach complaints or bleeding 1-4 

• In a study by Moore et al, GI tolerability of 

OTC ibuprofen was at least as favorable as 

acetaminophen during 7-day therapy 5 

• Studies have demonstrated that higher doses 

of ibuprofen are associated with a greater risk 

of GI side effects (odds ratio 4.6) vs lower 

(OTC) doses (odds ratio 1.1) 1,6 

• Naproxen and OTC ibuprofen have the 

most favorable cardiovascular risk profile 

among widely used Rx and OTC NSAIDs 7 

• For patients already on, or for whom you 

are considering initiating a cardioprotective 

aspirin regimen: 

– Taking ibuprofen at least ½ hour after the 

dosing of immediate-release low-dose 

aspirin is a practical method to minimize 

potential impairment of the antiplatelet 

effect of aspirin 8,9 

– Because the effect of aspirin taken 

daily on platelets is long lasting, the 

occasional use of ibuprofen poses 

a minimal risk of attenuating the 

antiplatelet effect of low-dose aspirin 9 

• Overall, OTC ibuprofen has a low risk 

factor for developing acute or chronic 

renal conditions 1,10,11 

• NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, demonstrate an 

increased risk of causing renal impairment 

at high (Rx) doses, especially among elderly 

patients or patients with reduced renal function 12 

• OTC ibuprofen has a very low risk factor for 

developing liver injury, especially compared 

to the severe liver damage observed with 

acetaminophen overdose and the occasional 

liver reaction from aspirin 1,2 

• A large-scale review article concluded that, 

when compared with all analgesics, OTC 

ibuprofen is less toxic in serious overdose 

situations and is rarely associated with deaths 

from either accidental or intentional overdose 

(or with serious adverse events) 1
