Product Information

Full details

Ibuprofen Oral Suspension is an effective, sugar-free solution designed specifically for children aged 3 months to 9 years to manage fever and alleviate common aches. This orange-flavoured medication acts as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to reduce pain, inflammation, and high temperatures, making it a reliable household staple for addressing teething, post-vaccination discomfort, and sore throats. However, caregivers must exercise caution regarding correct dosage based on the child's weight and age to avoid potential side effects.

FAQs

Can I give this to my baby under 3 months?

No, this product is specifically formulated for children aged 3 months to 9 years. Consult a pediatrician for infants younger than 3 months.

How often can I give this medication?

Follow the instructions on the packaging regarding the minimum interval between doses, which is typically every 6 to 8 hours.

Should I give this on an empty stomach?

It is generally recommended to give the dose with food or milk to reduce the risk of an upset stomach.

What should I do if my child misses a dose?

Give the dose as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for the next scheduled dose. Never give a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Is it safe to use for long-term pain?

This medication is intended for short-term symptom relief. If symptoms persist or worsen after 3 days, consult your doctor.

Does this contain any gluten or artificial colours?

The product is sugar-free. Please check the specific product label for a full list of inactive ingredients if your child has specific allergies.

Troubleshooting

Child refuses to take the medication due to taste.

Try chilling the medication slightly (if allowed) or mixing the measured dose into a small amount of water or juice to mask the flavour.

Difficulty measuring the exact dose.

Ensure you are viewing the measurement at eye level on the syringe and that no air bubbles are trapped in the liquid.

Medicine spilled or bottle lost its lid.

If the seal is compromised or the product is exposed to air for an extended period, discard the bottle and obtain a new one.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure efficacy and safety, follow these storage and usage guidelines:

  2. Measurement: Only use the specific measuring device (syringe or spoon) included with the product. Do not use household kitchen spoons, as they do not provide accurate 5ml measurements.
  3. Compatibility: Before combining with other medications, consult a pharmacist or doctor, especially if the child is already taking other fever reducers or prescription antibiotics.
  4. Care: Keep out of reach of children at all times. If the product changes in appearance or is past the expiry date, discard it safely.
