Pain relief medication with ibuprofen disappears from pharmacies. From today, only available by prescription and under a different name.

Ibum Forte 400 mg has been renamed to Ibum Med and is now available only by prescription. This change follows a decision by the Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, which took effect on October 16. While Ibum Med can now be purchased in a 60-capsule package, other ibuprofen products remain available over-the-counter. Ibuprofen is effective for pain relief and fever reduction but is not recommended for certain patients, including those with liver, kidney, or heart failure, as well as pregnant women in their third trimester.
