Nurofen Für Kinder Zuckerfrei Rot (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen acts on inflammatory pathways to provide symptomatic relief in several paediatric conditions.

• Fever: helps lower elevated body temperature in children.
• Mild to moderate pain: alleviates discomfort from teething, earache or sore throat.
• Inflammatory conditions: reduces swelling and pain associated with minor injuries or musculoskeletal strain.

• Ibuprofen inhibits cyclo‑oxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes, decreasing the synthesis of prostaglandins that mediate inflammation, pain and fever. This reduction in prostaglandin levels leads to the antipyretic and analgesic effects observed in pediatric patients.

Adverse reactions may range from mild to severe and should be monitored during treatment.
