Calprofen Children's Ibuprofen Suspension for Pain and Fever Relief

 

Calprofen Ibuprofen Oral Suspension provides effective relief from pain and fever in children aged 3 months and over. This orange-flavoured liquid medicine contains ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce inflammation, lower temperature, and ease discomfort. The 100ml bottle comes with a measuring syringe to ensure accurate dosing for your child's weight and age.

You can use this children's ibuprofen suspension to treat various conditions including teething pain, earache, sore throat, headache, minor injuries, and symptoms of cold and flu. The liquid formulation makes it easier to administer to young children who cannot swallow tablets or capsules.

 

How Ibuprofen Works to Reduce Pain and Fever

 

Ibuprofen works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin levels, ibuprofen helps lower your child's temperature when they have a fever and provides relief from pain and swelling.

The medicine typically starts working within 20-30 minutes of administration, with maximum effects usually reached within 1-2 hours. The pain-relieving and fever-reducing effects can last for up to 8 hours, though this may vary depending on your child's individual response to the medication.

 

Suitable for Children from 3 Months Old

 

This ibuprofen suspension is specifically formulated for children and can be given to babies from 3 months of age, provided they weigh at least 5kg.

Sugar-Free Formula with Pleasant Orange Flavour

 

Calprofen is formulated without sugar, making it a tooth-friendly option for regular use when needed. The pleasant orange flavour helps ensure better acceptance by children, reducing the struggle often associated with giving medicine to young ones. The absence of sugar also means it won't contribute to tooth decay, which is particularly important for children who may need regular doses during illness.

The suspension remains stable and effective when stored correctly, maintaining its therapeutic properties throughout its shelf life. This ensures consistent dosing and reliable symptom relief each time you use it.

 

Proper Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

 

Store this medicine in a cool, dry place below 25°C and keep it out of reach and sight of children. Do not refrigerate the suspension as this may affect its consistency and effectiveness. Once opened, the medicine should be used within the timeframe specified on the packaging, typically within 6 months of first opening.

Always check the expiry date before use and dispose of any expired medicine safely through your local pharmacy's disposal service. Keep the original packaging and patient information leaflet for reference throughout the treatment period.
