Ibuprofen is a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to the propionic acid class. It is commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which decreases the production of prostaglandins responsible for pain and inflammation.
Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which play key roles in the production of prostaglandins—chemical messengers that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking these enzymes, ibuprofen reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby decreasing inflammation, relieving pain, and lowering fever. This mechanism makes ibuprofen effective for treating conditions like headaches, muscle aches, arthritis, and other inflammatory disorders.
