Nurofen Double Strength For Children 7-12 Years - Children's Ibuprofen Orange Flavour

 

This orange-flavoured liquid medicine provides effective relief from fever and pain in children aged 7 to 12 years. You can use it to help manage your child's discomfort from conditions such as headaches, toothache, earache, sore throat, and symptoms associated with colds and flu. The double strength formulation means fewer doses are needed throughout the day compared to standard strength versions.

Each 5ml contains 200mg of ibuprofen, making it suitable for older children who require higher doses for effective symptom management. The pleasant orange taste helps ensure your child will take their medicine without difficulty, reducing stress for both you and your child during illness.

 

How Ibuprofen Works to Reduce Fever and Pain

 

Ibuprofen 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 action helps to reduce your child's temperature when they have a fever and provides relief from various types of pain.

The medicine starts working within 30 minutes to 1 hour after taking it, with effects typically lasting for up to 8 hours. This makes it particularly useful for managing symptoms that might otherwise disrupt your child's sleep or daily activities.

Suitable for School-Age Children with Various Conditions

 

This medicine is specifically formulated for children between 7 and 12 years of age who weigh more than 20kg. You can use it to treat several common childhood ailments that cause pain or fever. The double strength formulation is particularly beneficial for older children in this age group who may need more effective symptom control.

Common conditions this medicine can help with include:

• Fever reduction during viral or bacterial infections
• Headaches and general aches and pains
• Toothache and dental pain
• Earache and throat pain

 

Why Choose This Double Strength Formulation

 

The double strength formulation offers several practical benefits for managing your child's symptoms. With 200mg of ibuprofen per 5ml dose, you need to give fewer doses throughout the day compared to standard strength alternatives. This can be particularly helpful when your child is unwell and reluctant to take medicine repeatedly.

The concentrated formulation also means the 100ml bottle provides more doses, offering better value and ensuring you have sufficient medicine available during your child's illness. The orange flavouring makes the medicine more palatable, which is especially important for children who may be feeling unwell and less cooperative with taking medication.
