Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Ibuprofen, an NSAID, reduces pain and fever by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
  • Fever: Lowers elevated body temperature in children, providing comfort during acute infections.
  • Headache: Relieves mild to moderate headache pain, improving daily activities.
  • Toothache: Eases dental pain associated with teething or dental procedures.
  • Muscular pain: Reduces soreness from minor strains or over‑exertion.

How It Works

  • Ibuprofen exerts its effect by reversibly inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2. This blockade prevents the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins and thromboxanes, which are mediators of inflammation, pain, and fever. The reduced prostaglandin levels diminish peripheral sensitisation and lower the hypothalamic set‑point for temperature regulation.

Side Effects

Oral ibuprofen may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to serious.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Stomach discomfort

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration
  • Kidney impairment, especially with prolonged use or dehydration

Precautions & Warnings

  • When using ibuprofen in children, several safety considerations should be observed.
  • Age restriction: Use only in children approved by the product labeling, typically from three months onward.
  • Dosage accuracy: Measure the dose with the supplied device to avoid under‑ or overdosing.
  • Pre‑existing conditions: Consult a healthcare professional if the child has asthma, kidney disease, or a history of stomach ulcers.
  • Concomitant medications: Avoid simultaneous use with other NSAIDs or anticoagulants unless directed by a clinician.
  • Allergies: Discontinue if signs of hypersensitivity such as rash or swelling appear.
  • Store at ambient temperature: Keep the suspension below 25 °C, in the original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Ibuprofen can interact with other medicines, altering efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): Increased risk of bleeding.
  • High‑dose aspirin: Enhanced gastrointestinal toxicity.
  • Certain antihypertensives (e.g., ACE inhibitors, diuretics): May reduce blood‑pressure control.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Other NSAIDs or COX‑2 inhibitors: Additive risk of renal and gastrointestinal adverse effects.
  • Lithium: Ibuprofen may raise lithium serum levels.
  • Methotrexate: Potential for increased toxicity at high doses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nurofen For Children Strawberry contains ibuprofen, an NSAID formulated as a strawberry‑flavoured oral suspension. It is intended to relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache, toothache, or muscular discomfort, and to reduce fever in pediatric patients as directed by a healthcare professional.

Ibuprofen works by reversibly inhibiting the cyclooxygenase‑1 (COX‑1) and cyclooxygenase‑2 (COX‑2) enzymes. This inhibition blocks the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins, which are key mediators of inflammation, pain, and fever, thereby providing analgesic, antipyretic, and anti‑inflammatory effects.

The appropriate dose of Nurofen For Children Strawberry is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the child’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Caregivers should follow the exact amount measured with the supplied dosing device and the instructions provided by the healthcare professional.

Ibuprofen is generally not recommended during the third trimester of pregnancy and should be used only if clearly needed and prescribed by a qualified professional. Limited data are available for breastfeeding; a prescriber should evaluate the risk‑benefit ratio before use in lactating mothers.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, and will request verification of trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.

The primary alternative for pediatric fever and pain is paracetamol (acetaminophen), which acts centrally to reduce temperature and pain. Ibuprofen, as an NSAID, additionally provides anti‑inflammatory effects by inhibiting COX enzymes. Choice between the two depends on the clinical scenario, safety profile, and physician recommendation.

Store the oral suspension at ambient temperature, ideally below 25 °C, in its original container. Protect it from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and discard any remaining product after the expiration date indicated on the label.

Nurofen For Children Strawberry is administered orally. The dose should be measured with the calibrated dosing device supplied with the product. It can be given directly into the mouth or mixed with a small amount of food or drink if needed, ensuring the child consumes the entire measured dose.

Serious adverse reactions, although uncommon, include allergic responses such as rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, and renal impairment especially in dehydrated children or those with pre‑existing kidney disease. Immediate medical attention is required if any of these symptoms occur.

Children with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or any other NSAID, those with active gastrointestinal bleeding, severe renal or hepatic impairment, or a history of asthma exacerbated by NSAIDs should avoid this product. Additionally, it is contraindicated in children for whom a prescriber has advised against NSAID use.
