⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hepatotoxicity : Inform patients of warning signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity. Discontinue if abnormal liver tests persist or worsen or if clinical signs and symptoms of liver disease develop. (5.4) • Hypertension : Patients taking some antihypertensive medications may have impaired response to these therapies when taking NSAIDs.
Monitor blood pressure. (5.5, 7) • Heart Failure and Edema : Avoid use of ibuprofen and famotidine tablets in patients with severe heart failure unless benefits are expected to outweigh risk of worsening heart failure. (5.6) • Active Bleeding : Active and clinically significant bleeding from any source can occur; discontinue ibuprofen and famotidine tablet if active bleeding occurs.
(5.3) • Renal Toxicity : Monitor renal function in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, heart failure, dehydration, or hypovolemia. Avoid use of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet in patients with advanced renal disease unless benefits are expected to outweigh risk of worsening renal function. (5.7) • Anaphylactic Reactions : Seek emergency help if an anaphylactic reaction occurs.
(5.8) • Exacerbation of Asthma Related to Aspirin Sensitivity : Ibuprofen and famotidine tablet is contraindicated in patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma. Monitor patients with preexisting asthma (without aspirin-sensitivity). (5.10) • Serious Skin Reactions : Discontinue ibuprofen and famotidine tablet at first appearance of skin rash or other signs of hypersensitivity (5.11). • Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systematic Symptoms (DRESS) :Discontinue and evaluate clinically (5.12). • Fetal Toxicity : Limit use of NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and famotidine tablet, between about 20 to 30 weeks in pregnancy due to the risk of oligohydramnios/fetal renal dysfunction.
Avoid use of NSAIDs in women at about 30 weeks gestation and later in pregnancy due to the risks of oligohydramnios/fetal renal dysfunction and premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus (5.13, 8.1) • Hematologic Toxicity : Monitor hemoglobin or hematocrit in patient with any signs or symptoms of anemia. (5.14)
5.1Cardiovascular Thrombotic Events Clinical trials of several COX-2 selective and nonselective NSAIDs of up to three years duration have shown an increased risk of serious cardiovascular (CV) thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke, which can be fatal. Based on available data, it is unclear that the risk for CV thrombotic events is similar for all NSAIDs. The relative increase in serious CV thrombotic events over baseline conferred by NSAID use appears to be similar in those with and without known CV disease or risk factors for CV disease.
However, patients with known CV disease or risk factors had a higher absolute incidence of excess serious CV thrombotic events, due to their increased baseline rate. Some observational studies found that this increased risk of serious CV thrombotic events began as early as the first weeks of treatment. The increase in CV thrombotic risk has been observed most consistently at higher doses.
To minimize the potential risk for an adverse CV event in NSAID-treated patients, use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible. Physicians and patients should remain alert for the development of such events, throughout the entire treatment course, even in the absence of previous CV symptoms. Patients should be informed about the symptoms of serious CV events and the steps to take if they occur.
There is no consistent evidence that concurrent use of aspirin mitigates the increased risk of serious CV thrombotic events associated with NSAID use. The concurrent use of aspirin and an NSAID, such as ibuprofen, increases the risk of serious gastrointestinal GI events [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] .

6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet was evaluated in 1022 patients in controlled clinical studies, including 508 patients treated for at least 6 months and 107 patients treated for approximately 1 year. Patients treated with ibuprofen and famotidine tablet ranged in age from 39 to 80 years (median age 55 years), with 67% female, 79% Caucasian, 18% African-American, and 3% other races.
Two randomized, active-controlled clinical studies (Study 301 and Study 303) were conducted for the reduction of the risk of development of ibuprofen-associated, upper gastrointestinal ulcers in patients who required use of ibuprofen, which included 1022 patients on ibuprofen and famotidine tablet and 511 patients on ibuprofen alone. Approximately 15% of patients were on low-dose aspirin. Patients were assigned randomly, in a 2:1 ratio, to treatment with either ibuprofen and famotidine tablet or ibuprofen 800 mg three times a day for 24 consecutive weeks.
Three serious cases of acute renal failure were observed in patients treated with ibuprofen and famotidine tablet in the two controlled clinical trials. All three patients recovered to baseline levels after discontinuation of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet. Additionally, increases in serum creatinine were observed in both treatment arms in the two clinical studies.
Many of these patients were taking concomitant diuretics and/or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, or angiotensin receptor blockers. There were patients with a normal baseline serum creatinine level who developed abnormal values in the controlled trials as presented in Table 1. Most Commonly Reported Adverse Reactions The most common adverse reactions (≥2%), from pooled data from the two controlled studies are presented in Table 2.
In controlled clinical studies, the discontinuation rate due to adverse events for patients receiving ibuprofen and famotidine tablet and ibuprofen alone were similar. The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation from ibuprofen and famotidine tablet therapy were nausea (0.9%) and upper abdominal pain (0.9%). There were no differences in types of related adverse reactions seen during maintenance treatment up to 12 months compared to short-term treatment. table 1 table 2.1 table 2.2

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy : Use of NSAIDs during the third trimester of pregnancy increases the risk of premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus. Avoid use of NSAIDs in pregnant women starting at 30 weeks gestation. (5.13, 8.1) Females and Males of Reproductive Potential : NSAIDs are associated with reversible infertility. Consider withdrawal of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet in women who have difficulties conceiving. (8.3)
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Use of NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and famotidine tablet, can cause premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus and fetal renal dysfunction leading to oligohydramnios and, in some cases, neonatal renal impairment. Because of these risks, limit dose and duration of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet use between about 20 and 30 weeks of gestation and avoid ibuprofen and famotidine tablet use at about 30 weeks of gestation and later in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations, Data). There are no available data with ibuprofen and famotidine tablet use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage; however, there are published studies with each individual component of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet.
Ibuprofen Data from observational studies regarding potential embryofetal risks of NSAID use in women in the first or second trimesters of pregnancy are inconclusive. In animal reproduction studies, there were no clear developmental effects at doses up to 0.4-times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) in the rabbit and 0.5-times in the MRHD rat when dosed throughout gestation. In contrast, an increase in membranous ventricular septal defects was reported in rats treated on Gestation Days 9 & 10 with 0.8-times the MRHD.
Based on animal data, prostaglandins have been shown to have an important role in endometrial vascular permeability, blastocyst implantation, and decidualization. In animal studies, administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors such as ibuprofen, resulted in increased pre- and post- implantation loss. Prostaglandins also have been shown to have an important role in fetal kidney development.
In published animal studies, prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors have been reported to impair kidney development when administered at clinically relevant doses. Famotidine Limited published data do not report an increased risk of congenital malformations or other adverse pregnancy effects with use of H 2 - receptor antagonists, including ibuprofen and famotidine tablet, during pregnancy; however, these data are insufficient to adequately determine a drug-associated risk. Reproductive studies with famotidine have been performed in rats and rabbits at oral doses of up to 2000 and 500 mg/kg/day (approximately 243 and 122 times the recommended human dose, respectively, based on body surface area) and in both species at intravenous (I.V.) doses of up to 200 mg/kg/day, and have revealed no significant evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to famotidine.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the general U.S. population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.
Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Premature Closure of Fetal Ductus Arteriosus: Avoid use of NSAIDs in women at about 30 weeks gestation and later in pregnancy, because NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and famotidine tablet, can cause premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus (see Data). Oligohydramnios/Neonatal Renal Impairment If an NSAID is necessary at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy, limit the use to the lowest effective dose and shortest duration possible. If ibuprofen and famotidine tablet treatment is needed for a pregnant woman, conside…
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE Symptoms following acute NSAID overdosages have been typically limited to lethargy, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and epigastric pain, which have been generally reversible with supportive care. Gastrointestinal bleeding has occurred. Hypertension, acute renal failure, respiratory depression, and coma have occurred, but were rare [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1, 5.2, 5.5, 5.7, 5.9)] .
No data are available with regard to overdose of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet. Findings related to the individual active substances are listed below. Ibuprofen Approximately 1 1/2 hours after the reported ingestion of from 7 to 10 ibuprofen tablets (400 mg), a 19-month-old child weighing 12 kg was seen in the hospital emergency room, apneic and cyanotic, responding only to painful stimuli.
This type of stimulus, however, was sufficient to induce respiration. Oxygen and parenteral fluids were given; a greenish-yellow fluid was aspirated from the stomach with no evidence to indicate the presence of ibuprofen. Two hours after ingestion the child's condition seemed stable; she still responded only to painful stimuli and continued to have periods of apnea lasting from 5 to 10 seconds.
She was admitted to intensive care and sodium bicarbonate was administered as well as infusions of dextrose and normal saline. By 4 hours post-ingestion she could be aroused easily, sit by herself, and respond to spoken commands. Blood level of ibuprofen was 102.9 μg/mL approximately 8.5 hours after accidental ingestion.
At 12 hours she appeared to be completely recovered. In two other reported cases where children (each weighing approximately 10 kg) accidentally, acutely ingested approximately 120 mg/kg, there were no signs of acute intoxication or late sequelae. Blood level in one child 90 minutes after ingestion was 700 μg/mL — about 10 times the peak levels seen in absorption-excretion studies.
A 19-year-old male who had taken 8,000 mg of ibuprofen over a period of a few hours complained of dizziness, and nystagmus was noted. After hospitalization, parenteral hydration and 3 days bed rest, he recovered with no reported sequelae. Famotidine The adverse reactions in overdose cases are similar to the adverse reactions encountered in normal clinical experience.
Oral doses of up to 640 mg/day have been given to adult patients with pathological hypersecretory conditions with no serious adverse effects. Manage patients with symptomatic and supportive care following an NSAID overdosage, including ibuprofen and famotidine tablet overdose. There are no specific antidotes.
Consider emesis and/or activated charcoal (60 to 100 grams in adults, 1 to 2 grams per kg of body weight in pediatric patients) and/or osmotic cathartic in symptomatic patients seen within four hours of ingestion or in patients with a large overdosage (5 to 10 times the recommended dose). Forced diuresis, alkalinization of urine, hemodialysis, or hemoperfusion may not be useful due to high protein binding.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Ibuprofen and famotidine tablet is a fixed-combination tablet of ibuprofen and famotidine. The ibuprofen component has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. The mechanism of action of the ibuprofen component of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet, like that of other NSAIDs, is not completely understood but involves inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2).
Ibuprofen is a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis in vitro . Ibuprofen concentrations reached during therapy have produced in vivo effects. Prostaglandins sensitize afferent nerves and potentiate the action of bradykinin in inducing pain in animal models.
Prostaglandins are mediators of inflammation. Because ibuprofen is an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, its mode of action may be due to an increase of prostaglandins in peripheral tissues. Famotidine is a competitive inhibitor of histamine H 2 -receptors.
The primary clinically important pharmacologic activity of famotidine is inhibition of gastric secretion. Both the acid concentration and volume of gastric secretion are suppressed by famotidine, while changes in pepsin secretion are proportional to volume output. Systemic effects of famotidine in the CNS, cardiovascular, respiratory, or endocrine systems were not noted in clinical pharmacology studies.
Also, no antiandrogenic effects were noted. Serum hormone levels, including prolactin, cortisol, thyroxine (T 4 ), and testosterone, were not altered after treatment with famotidine.
12.2Pharmacodynamics In a healthy volunteer study, ibuprofen 400 mg given once daily, administered 2 hours prior to immediate-release aspirin (81 mg) for 6 days, showed an interaction with the antiplatelet activity of aspirin as measured by % serum thromboxane B2 (TxB2) inhibition at 24 hours following the day-6 aspirin dose [53%]. An interaction was still observed, but minimized, when ibuprofen 400 mg given once-daily was administered as early as 8 hours prior to the immediate-release aspirin dose [90.7%]. However, there was no interaction with the antiplatelet activity of aspirin when ibuprofen 400 mg, given once daily, was administered 2 hours after (but not concomitantly, 15 min, or 30 min after) the immediate-release aspirin dose [99.2%].
In another study, where immediate-release aspirin 81 mg was administered once daily with ibuprofen 400 mg given three times daily (1, 7, and 13 hours post-aspirin dose) for 10 consecutive days, the mean % serum thromboxane B2 (TxB2) inhibition suggested no interaction with the antiplatelet activity of aspirin [98.3%]. However, there were individual subjects with serum TxB2 inhibition below 95%, with the lowest being 90.2%. When a similarly designed study was conducted with enteric-coated aspirin, where healthy subjects were administered enteric-coated aspirin 81 mg once daily for 6 days and ibuprofen 400 mg three times daily (2, 7, and 12 h post-aspirin dose) for 6 days, there was an interaction with the antiplatelet activity at 24 hours following the day-6 aspirin dose [67%] [see Drug Interactions (7)].
12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption Ibuprofen and famotidine are rapidly absorbed after a single dose administration of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet. Mean C max values for ibuprofen are 45 µg/mL and are reached approximately 1.9 hours after oral administration of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet. The C max and AUC 0-24hours values for the 800 mg of ibuprofen contained in a ibuprofen and famotidine tablet are bioequivalent to the values for 800 mg of ibuprofen administered alone.
C max values for famotidine were 61 ng/mL and are reached at approximately 2 hours after oral administration of ibuprofen and famotidine tablet. A high-fat meal reduced famotidine C max and AUC by approximately by 15% and 11%, respectively, and reduced ibuprofen AUC by approximately 14% but did not change C max . Food delayed famotidine T max and ibuprofen T max by approximately 1 hour and 0.2 ho…
