Perrigo Ibuprofen 7+ 200mg/5ml oral suspension 100ml

Ibuprofen Oral Suspension for Children 7+

 

You can provide effective pain and fever relief for your child aged 7 years and over with this ibuprofen oral suspension. Each 5ml dose contains 200mg of the active ingredient, formulated specifically for children who need a higher strength liquid medicine. This orange-flavoured suspension offers a convenient alternative to tablets for children who have difficulty swallowing solid medicines.

The liquid formulation allows for accurate dosing and easier administration compared to tablets. You should always follow the dosing instructions on the packaging and consult your pharmacist if you have any questions about appropriate dosing for your child's age and weight.

 

How This Anti-Inflammatory Medicine Works

 

The active ingredient belongs to a group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in your child's body that cause pain, inflammation and fever. This dual action makes it effective for treating various childhood conditions including headaches, dental pain, minor injuries and fever associated with common illnesses.

The liquid format ensures rapid absorption, typically providing relief within 30-60 minutes of administration. The effects can last for several hours, helping your child feel more comfortable during illness or after minor injuries.

 

Suitable for School-Age Children and Teenagers

 

This higher strength formulation is specifically designed for children aged 7 years and over who require more than the standard children's dose. It's particularly useful for older children and teenagers who may find it difficult to swallow tablets but need effective pain relief. You can explore our complete range of pain relief options to find the most suitable treatment for your family's needs.

The medicine is suitable for treating:

• Headaches and migraines in children over 7 years
• Dental pain following dental procedures or tooth eruption
• Minor sports injuries and muscle strains
• Fever reduction when paracetamol alone is insufficient

 

Orange Flavour for Better Compliance

 

The pleasant orange flavour helps ensure your child will take their medicine without resistance. This is particularly important when children are unwell and may be reluctant to take medication. The palatable taste reduces the stress often associated with giving medicine to children, making the treatment process easier for both you and your child.

The 100ml bottle provides multiple doses, making it a practical choice for families. You should always use the measuring device provided to ensure accurate dosing and store the medicine safely out of reach of children when not in use.

 

Proper Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

 

You should store this medicine at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, the suspension maintains its effectiveness for the duration stated on the packaging when stored correctly. Always check the expiry date before use and dispose of any unused medicine safely through your local pharmacy's disposal service.

Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to maintain the medicine's stability and prevent contamination. You can find additional baby and toddler healthcare products to support your child's overall wellbeing alongside this pain relief option.
