Nurofen Junior S Okusom Naranče (Ibuprofen)

Ibuprofen blocks the cyclooxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes that convert arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. By lowering prostaglandin production, it reduces the signals that cause pain, lowers the hypothalamic set‑point for body temperature, and diminishes the inflammatory response in tissues.

The appropriate dose of ibuprofen for a child is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the child’s age, weight, and the severity of symptoms. The prescriber will specify the exact amount, frequency, and duration of treatment on the prescription label.

Safety of ibuprofen during pregnancy or lactation depends on the trimester and individual risk factors. It is generally avoided in the third trimester and should only be used in pregnancy or while breastfeeding when clearly indicated by a qualified healthcare provider.

Both ibuprofen (Nurofen Junior) and paracetamol reduce fever and relieve pain, but ibuprofen also has anti‑inflammatory properties. Ibuprofen may provide longer‑lasting relief for inflammatory pain, while paracetamol is often preferred when gastrointestinal tolerance is a concern. The choice depends on clinical judgment and patient factors.

Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep it away from moisture, direct sunlight, and children’s reach. Do not freeze the liquid, and ensure the container is tightly closed after each use.

Nurofen Junior is given orally, usually as a measured dose using the supplied measuring device (spoon or syringe). The caregiver should follow the prescriber’s instructions for the exact volume to administer, ensuring the child swallows the dose completely.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, kidney impairment, and rare skin conditions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Caregivers should seek immediate medical attention if the child shows signs of vomiting blood, severe rash, swelling, or reduced urine output.

Children with a known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or any other NSAID, those with active gastrointestinal ulcer disease, severe liver or kidney dysfunction, or who are currently taking anticoagulants or other NSAIDs should avoid this product unless directed by a physician.
