Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Ibuprofen is an NSAID that reduces inflammation, pain, and fever in pediatric patients.
  • Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in children
  • Mild to moderate pain: alleviates pain from common childhood conditions such as teething, earache, or sore throat
  • Headache: reduces headache intensity in children
  • Muscle aches: eases discomfort from minor strains or sprains
  • Dental pain: provides relief after tooth extraction or dental procedures

How It Works

  • Ibuprofen reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase‑1 (COX‑1) and cyclooxygenase‑2 (COX‑2) enzymes, which blocks the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. The resulting decrease in prostaglandin synthesis reduces inflammation, pain signalling, and the hypothalamic set‑point for body temperature, providing analgesic, antipyretic, and anti‑inflammatory effects.

Side Effects

Common side effects are generally mild and transient.

Common Side Effects

  • Stomach upset or mild abdominal pain
  • Nausea or occasional vomiting
  • Diarrhoea or constipation
  • Headache or mild dizziness

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration
  • Severe allergic reactions such as rash, angioedema, or anaphylaxis
  • Elevated liver enzymes or hepatic dysfunction
  • Impaired kidney function, especially with dehydration or concurrent nephrotoxic drugs

Precautions & Warnings

  • When using ibuprofen in children, several safety measures should be observed.
  • Age restriction: not for children under 3 months unless directed by a healthcare professional
  • Dose based on weight: follow the prescriber’s instructions for each individual child
  • Avoid concurrent NSAIDs: do not combine with aspirin, naproxen, or other ibuprofen products
  • Caution with asthma or kidney disease: monitor closely if the child has a history of asthma, renal impairment, or dehydration
  • Do not exceed recommended duration: prolonged use should be under medical supervision
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight

Avoid Interactions

Ibuprofen can interact with several drug classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Other NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin, naproxen): increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): enhanced anticoagulant effect and bleeding risk
  • Corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone): synergistic gastrointestinal toxicity

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • ACE inhibitors or ARBs (e.g., lisinopril): may reduce renal function, especially in dehydrated children
  • Diuretics (e.g., furosemide): potential for reduced kidney perfusion
  • Lithium: ibuprofen may increase lithium serum concentrations, requiring level monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions

Nurofen For Children Strawberry is formulated to relieve mild to moderate pain such as teething, earache, or sore throat, and to reduce fever in pediatric patients. The strawberry flavor makes it more palatable for children, supporting compliance with short‑term symptomatic treatment.

Ibuprofen blocks the activity of cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are needed to produce prostaglandins. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it reduces inflammation, diminishes pain signals, and lowers the hypothalamic set‑point for temperature, providing analgesic, antipyretic, and anti‑inflammatory effects.

The appropriate dose of ibuprofen for a child is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the child’s weight and age. Parents and caregivers should follow the exact instructions on the label or the prescriber’s order and use the supplied measuring device.

Ibuprofen is generally not recommended during the third trimester of pregnancy because of potential fetal risks, and it should be used with caution while breastfeeding. Mothers should consult their physician before giving any medication, including ibuprofen, to ensure safety for both mother and child.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and the necessary import documentation.

The primary alternative for pediatric fever and pain is paracetamol (acetaminophen). Ibuprofen provides both analgesic and anti‑inflammatory effects, whereas paracetamol mainly offers analgesic and antipyretic activity without significant anti‑inflammatory action. Choice depends on the clinical situation, underlying conditions, and physician preference.

Store the oral suspension at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not freeze the product, and ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to maintain stability.

The medication is given orally using the supplied dosing syringe or calibrated cup. It can be taken with or without food. Caregivers should measure the exact dose as instructed by the prescriber and ensure the child swallows the liquid completely.

Serious adverse reactions include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe allergic responses such as rash, angioedema, or anaphylaxis, and kidney impairment, especially in dehydrated children or those receiving other nephrotoxic drugs. Any signs of these conditions require immediate medical attention.

Children under three months of age, those with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, children with severe renal or hepatic disease, and those with a history of gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding should avoid this product unless directed by a qualified healthcare professional.
