Linear pharmacokinetics in the 200-800 mg dosage range.
Administration of the medicinal product is dependent on the onset of pain or fever. As soon as these disappear, the medication should be discontinued.
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 40 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.
