Ep173 Ibuprofen: What Is It & When Is It Used?

Ibuprofen is one of the most commonly used relief medications in Australia—but it’s not suitable for everyone. In this episode, we explain what ibuprofen is, common Australian brand names like Nurofen and Rafen, the different forms it comes in, and the conditions it is commonly used to treat. We also cover important contraindications and precautions, standard adult and paediatric dosing, and why understanding medications is an important part of first aid and patient care. Because good first aid isn’t just knowing what to give—it’s knowing when, why, and when not to.
