Calprofen Suspension is an ibuprofen-based oral medication designed for infants and children over 3 months old to provide fast relief from pain and fever. Its key benefit is rapid action, starting to work on fever in as little as 15 minutes and lasting up to 8 hours. A caveat to note is the duration of use, with specific time limits for different age groups and a requirement to seek medical advice if symptoms persist. This strawberry-flavoured, sugar-free, and colour-free suspension effectively targets discomfort from teething, headaches, earaches, moderate muscular pain, post-immunisation fever, and cold and flu symptoms, coming with an easy-dose syringe for accurate administration.

If symptoms persist for more than 24 hours in children aged 3-6 months, or for more than 3 days in children over 6 months, seek medical advice from your doctor.
While strawberry-flavoured, some children may still be hesitant. Try offering a small amount of water or a preferred sugar-free drink *after* the dose. Ensure the syringe is administered quickly to the back of the tongue.
Ensure the syringe is inserted into the bottle opening properly and that the bottle is upright. Shake the suspension well before drawing up the dose, as this helps ensure consistent medication. Practice drawing up and dispensing water to get familiar with the syringe mechanism.
Seek medical advice from a doctor. Do not continue to administer the product beyond 24 hours for this age group without professional guidance.
Consult a doctor. Continued use beyond 3 days in children over 6 months requires medical assessment.
