Pharmacology
Anti-inflammatory, anti-pyretic, and analgesic action are all high in ibuprofen. Ibuprofen's analgesic effects are caused by both a peripheral and a central action. Ibuprofen inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which results in a significant decrease in prostaglandin synthesis. Some lipo-oxygenase products are likewise inhibited by ibuprofen. Ibuprofen lowers pain and stiffness, reduces swelling, and enhances the movement of arthritis sufferers' various joints.

Cyclosporin and tacrolimus have been linked to an increase in nephrotoxicity.
