This product is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). The drug works by blocking the production of certain hormones (the hormones that control pain and fever) that cause inflammation in the body. This causes your body to produce too much of the drugs ibuprofen and naproxen (commonly sold under the brand name Advil). Ibuprofen works by stopping the production of these hormones.
The drug may be given by mouth with or without food. Ask your pharmacist for a dosage form for children aged 6 months and older.
The recommended dose of ibuprofen is one 200mg tablet every 4 hours. If the dose is higher than that, it should be discontinued and the medicine increased to the dose indicated in the patient's chart. If your child has taken more ibuprofen than they should be taking, they should continue to take the medicine as recommended by your doctor.
For more information on the use of ibuprofen in children, read through the information in the carton.
It is important to tell your doctor if you are allergic to ibuprofen or any other medicines. Also tell your doctor if you have asthma, diabetes, thyroid problems, kidney disease, or epilepsy. This may affect your reaction.

Allergy to ibuprofen has been reported in children with asthma, but no studies have been conducted in adults. The drug is also used in children suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), who have asthma and other lung diseases. There are no clinical data that show ibuprofen has any effect on the child's asthma.
Ibuprofen may cause allergic reaction or rash in children who are allergic to aspirin, or to other NSAIDs such as aspirin, naproxen, or ibuprofen, or to other anti-inflammatory agents such as corticosteroids.
If the child develops an allergic reaction, stop taking the child and seek immediate medical attention.
If a child has asthma that is not treated or treated with anti-inflammatory agents, or if they become very wheezy, contact a child health practitioner or emergency room practitioner.

Ibuprofen is an NSAID. It reduces the body's production of a certain substance called prostaglandin, which in turn decreases inflammation.

Background:Pharmacotherapeutic group C (PCG) is a group of drugs which are used to treat and relieve pain and inflammation caused by an injury (e.g. arthritis) or disease (e.g. cancer). Ibuprofen is one of the most widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and is available in a wide range of strengths, including 0.625mg/ml and 1.25mg/ml and 5mg/ml and 10mg/ml and 20mg/ml and 40mg/ml and 60mg/ml. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is commonly used to treat arthritis, pain, menstrual cramps, and other conditions associated with inflammatory and/or degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety of use of ibuprofen in a large number of patients with an inflammatory and/or degenerative condition associated with an injury.
Methods:A single-centre, non-inferiority, open-label, double-blind, phase 3 clinical study was conducted in patients with an inflammatory and/or degenerative condition associated with an injury (seeIntroduction). Patients were randomised to receive either 500mg of ibuprofen or placebo on day 1 or 7 and again on day 3 and 7 and then daily for 5 days in the second week, or in the third week of the study for a total of 5 days (treatment continued throughout the study period). All patients were followed for adverse events, which were analysed at week 4 and week 5, or at week 7 and 8.
Results:Overall, there was no significant difference between the two treatment groups regarding the number of days on treatment with ibuprofen compared with placebo on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. The percentage of patients with an adverse event related to the treatment was low (5% for ibuprofen and 17% for placebo) at week 4 and week 5 (see
Conclusion:In a large, non-inferiority, open-label, double-blind, phase 3 clinical study in patients with an inflammatory and/or degenerative condition associated with an injury, ibuprofen was associated with a statistically significant reduction in adverse events and a statistically significant reduction in treatment-related events compared with placebo.
