A randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, parallel-group study was undertaken to assess the efficacy and safety of ibuprofen plus codeine in the management of patients with mild to moderate pain. Ibuprofen, codeine, and ibuprofen plus codeine formulations were designed to be given with a single dose of 200 mg ibuprofen tablets. Codeine and ibuprofen were given as an intravenous infusion over 1 hour and 200 mg and 600 mg of codeine tablets. Ibuprofen was given for 6 hours. The primary efficacy end point was to assess the proportion of patients achieving a satisfactory relief from pain and/or fever during the treatment. Secondary efficacy end points were the number of patients achieving an effective relief from pain and/or fever and the proportion of patients with a significant reduction of pain or fever after 1-2 days of ibuprofen and codeine treatment.
Table 1. Adverse events associated with use of ibuprofen (n = 4), codeine (n = 2), ibuprofen plus codeine (n = 1), and ibuprofen monohydrate (n = 1). Ibuprofen plus codeine was associated with more adverse events in the patient group. Ibuprofen was associated with more serious adverse events in patients with mild to moderate pain than in patients with moderate to severe pain.
The safety profile of ibuprofen plus codeine has been shown to be comparable to that of ibuprofen monohydrate in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. However, it is important to highlight that the use of ibuprofen plus codeine is associated with more serious adverse events in patients with moderate to severe pain than in patients with mild to moderate pain.
Ibuprofen, codeine, and ibuprofen plus codeine formulations are indicated for the management of patients with mild to moderate pain. As with any prescription medicine, it is important to monitor patients closely for any signs of side effects or adverse events following administration of ibuprofen. Adverse events related to ibuprofen plus codeine were more likely to occur in patients who used this formulation.
The safety profile of ibuprofen and ibuprofen monohydrate has been shown to be comparable in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe pain. However, it is important to note that the use of ibuprofen monohydrate is associated with more serious adverse events than that of ibuprofen.

The use of ibuprofen is associated with more serious adverse events in patients with moderate to severe pain than in patients with mild to moderate pain.
In clinical trials, ibuprofen has been found to be as effective as ibuprofen monohydrate in the management of pain. However, the evidence for its superiority is still limited. The clinical judgement of healthcare professionals is that ibuprofen is not superior to ibuprofen monohydrate in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. In the management of mild to moderate pain, the evidence for the use of ibuprofen alone is low. The use of ibuprofen alone is not recommended as a treatment for moderate to severe pain.
