With the drop in renal blood flow,the homeostatic function of the kidney is affected, Glomerular   filtration, tubular re-absorption and secretions are affected , thus water and electrolyte  balance  regulatory functions of the kidney are disrupted. With drop in fluid re-absorption  back into the blood, the solute  potential of the blood rises,  leading to dehydration.

Therefore before  and after taken  this drug, enough fluid should be taken, to make up for the  disruptions in the kidney water balance mechanisms as a result inhibitory effects of ibuprofen on renal blood flow, which causes dehydration.
