Intravenous (IV) ibuprofen is used for pain relief and fever reduction for several decades. As an intravenous formulation of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ibuprofen, it offers faster absorption and onset of action as compared to oral administration. Intravenous (IV) ibuprofen works by blocking the production of prostaglandins - hormone-like substances in the body that promote pain and fever. With intravenous delivery, it can provide relief for moderate to severe pain within 15 minutes and may be effective for up to 8 hours with a single dose. Global intravenous (IV) ibuprofen market has witnessed steady growth in recent years due to increasing prevalence of diseases requiring IV pain management and benefits over other analgesic options.
Market Dynamics:

However, potential risks of gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney toxicity with long-term use along with preference for non-opioid alternatives are expected to restrain the market growth. Ongoing clinical trials evaluating efficacy for new indications and formulations present lucrative opportunities.
