This medicine is indicated for the symptomatic relief of occasional mild to moderate pain and fever.
This medicine is for use in infants over 3 months and children up to 12 years of age.
For occasional use only and for limited periods. The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest time necessary to relieve symptoms. If you have an infection, consult a doctor promptly if symptoms (such as fever and pain) persist or worsen.
The recommended dose of ibuprofen depends on the age and weight of the child. As a general rule, for children from 3 months to 12 years of age, the recommended daily dose is 20 to 30 mg per kg body weight, depending on the intensity of the symptoms, divided into three doses. The use of this medicine in children under 2 years of age should always be prescribed by a doctor.

If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to ibuprofen or any of the other ingredients of this medicine, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or aspirin. Allergic reactions may include itchy rash, swelling of the face, lips or tongue, runny nose, difficulty breathing or asthma.
You should not use this medicine if you have severe liver or kidney disease, have had a stomach or duodenal ulcer or bleeding, vomit blood, have black stools or bloody diarrhea, have bleeding or blood clotting disorders, or are taking anticoagulants. It is also contraindicated in cases of severe dehydration, severe heart failure or during the third trimester of pregnancy.
Serious skin reactions such as exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and others have been reported. Discontinue treatment and seek medical attention immediately if you notice any of these symptoms.
Tell your doctor if you have oedema (fluid retention), have or have ever had a heart condition or high blood pressure, asthma or any other breathing disorder. Also inform your doctor if you are being treated for liver or kidney problems, or if you have a history of gastric ulcer.
Tell your doctor if you are taking other medications, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins. Ibuprofen may interact with medicines such as blood thinners, antihypertensives and other anti-inflammatory drugs. Make sure your doctor knows about all the medicines you are taking.
The use of ibuprofen during pregnancy is contraindicated during the third trimester. During the first and second trimesters, it should only be used if the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the foetus. In breast-feeding, ibuprofen is excreted in breast milk in very low amounts, so it may be used with caution under medical supervision.
Keep this medicine in the original pack at a temperature not exceeding 25°C. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of the reach of children. Do not use the medicine after the expiry date stated on the pack.
