CALPROFEN suspension 100mg/5ml 200ml

Calprofen ibuprofen suspension is an oral medication formulated to alleviate pain and reduce fever in children over three months old.

This oral suspension contains ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which effectively treats various mild to moderate pain conditions, including teething, dental pain, sore throat, headaches, and symptoms associated with colds and flu.

This medication is designed to be easy to administer, with an easy-dose syringe, and gentle on young stomachs.

Calprofen ibuprofen suspension provides fast and effective pain relief and reduces fever. The active ingredient, ibuprofen, works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation in the body.

This reduces pain and inflammation and lowers fever, helping children feel more comfortable and aiding in their recovery from illness or minor injuries.

The active ingredient in Calprofen Suspension is 100mg per 5 ml dose of ibuprofen. Other ingredients include sucrose, glycerol, polysorbate 80, sodium benzoate, citric acid monohydrate, and purified water.

These ingredients are formulated to ensure the suspension is palatable and effective while being gentle on young stomachs.

The usual dosage of Calprofen ibuprofen suspension is determined by the age and weight of the child.

For children aged 3-6 months, the dose is 2.5ml up to three times in 24 hours.

For children aged 6-12 months, the dose is 2.5ml up to four times in 24 hours.

For children aged 1-3 years, the dose is 5ml up to three times in 24 hours.

For children aged 4-6 years, the dose is 7.5ml up to three times in 24 hours.

Please wait at least 6 hours between doses and do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Always follow the dosing instructions provided on the packaging or the advice of a healthcare professional. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Calprofen oral suspension is suitable for children over 3 months old who require relief from pain or fever due to conditions such as teething pain, headache, earache, dental pain, cold and flu.

Calprofen ibuprofen suspension is not suitable for:

Children with high blood pressure: Ibuprofen can cause fluid retention and potentially increase blood pressure, so it should be used with caution in children with high blood pressure.

Children taking specific medications: Avoid using Calprofen in children who are currently taking other NSAIDs, aspirin, or any medication that can interact negatively with ibuprofen.

Children with allergies to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs: If your child has previously shown an allergic reaction to ibuprofen, aspirin, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, they should not use Calprofen.

Infants under 3 months old: It should not be given to infants younger than 3 months unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare professional.

Children with certain health conditions: It's unsuitable for children with certain health conditions such as severe kidney, liver, or heart problems, a history of gastrointestinal issues (such as a stomach ulcer or bleeding), or blood clotting disorders.

Children with asthma: Children who have experienced worsening asthma symptoms after taking NSAIDs should avoid this medicine.

Children with dehydration: In cases of severe dehydration, ibuprofen can pose additional risks and should be avoided unless recommended by a healthcare professional.

Calprofen oral suspension is formulated specifically for children, but if you're pregnant or breastfeeding and considering its use for yourself, speak with a healthcare professional.
