Children weighing ≤ 39 kg.

The drug can be used in children weighing at least 20 kg. The maximum daily dose of ibuprofen is 20-30 mg per kilogram of body weight, divided into 3-4 doses with an interval of 6-8 hours. Do not exceed the maximum permissible daily dose.

Children weighing 20-29 kg: the recommended starting dose is 1 capsule (equivalent to 200 mg ibuprofen). The maximum daily dose is 3 capsules (equivalent to 600 mg ibuprofen).

Children weighing 30 to 39 kg: the recommended starting dose is 1 capsule (equivalent to 200 mg ibuprofen). The maximum daily dose is 4 capsules (equivalent to 800 mg ibuprofen).

Elderly people do not require special dose adjustment.

If symptoms persist for more than 3 days, and when used for pain relief for more than 4 days, you should consult a doctor for clarification of the diagnosis and adjustment of the treatment regimen. Undesirable effects can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest period of time necessary to control symptoms.

Application features

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding

Pregnancy

During the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, ibuprofen should only be used if, in the opinion of the doctor, the benefit to the mother significantly outweighs the possible risk to the fetus. If ibuprofen is used in women attempting to conceive or during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy, the dose should be as low as possible and the duration of treatment as short as possible.

Ibuprofen is contraindicated during the third trimester of pregnancy.

Breastfeeding period

Ibuprofen and its metabolites may pass into breast milk in low concentrations. There is currently no known harmful effect on the infant, so it is generally not necessary to discontinue breastfeeding for short-term treatment of pain and fever at recommended doses.

Children

The use of the drug is contraindicated in children weighing less than 20 kg.

Ability to influence reaction speed when driving vehicles or other mechanisms

With short-term use, the drug has no or negligible effect on the ability to drive and use machines, but with long-term use, side effects from the central nervous system, such as increased fatigue and dizziness, may occur.

Adverse reactions

Clinical trial data suggest that the use of ibuprofen, especially at a high dose of 2400 mg per day, may be associated with a slightly increased risk of arterial thrombotic complications (e.g. myocardial infarction or stroke).

Storage conditions

Store at a temperature not exceeding 25°C in the original packaging.

Keep out of reach of children.
