Calprofen Ibuprofen Suspension for Children's Pain Relief

 

You can rely on Calprofen ibuprofen suspension to provide effective pain relief and fever reduction for your child. This orange-flavoured liquid medicine contains ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain, inflammation and fever in children from 3 months of age.

The liquid formulation makes it easier for children to take compared to tablets, and the pleasant taste helps ensure your child receives their full dose. Each 5ml contains 100mg of ibuprofen, providing reliable relief from common childhood ailments including teething pain, headaches, earache, and symptoms of colds and flu.

 

How Ibuprofen Works to Reduce Pain and Fever

 

Ibuprofen works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in your body that cause pain, inflammation and fever. By reducing these prostaglandins, the medicine helps to lower your child's temperature and ease their discomfort.

The anti-inflammatory properties of ibuprofen make it particularly effective for conditions involving swelling and inflammation, such as sprains, strains, or inflammatory conditions. You can expect to see the effects within 30-60 minutes of giving the dose, with peak effectiveness typically occurring within 1-2 hours.
