## Brand Name: Brufen 100mg/5ml Ibuprofen Syrup Orange Flavor for Children (3+ Months)

## Generic Name: Ibuprofen

## About the Drug:
Brufen 100mg/5ml Ibuprofen Syrup is a child-friendly pain and fever medicine designed to help your child feel better when they are unwell. It works by lowering fever and easing mild to moderate pain, such as pain from teething, sore throat, earache, or minor aches and pains. The orange flavor makes it easier for children to take, and the liquid form is convenient for younger children who cannot swallow tablets. It is commonly used for short-term relief and should be given exactly as directed for your child’s age and weight.

## Indications: When do you need this medication?
* Fever: Helps reduce high temperature caused by colds, flu, or other common infections, making your child more comfortable.
* Teething pain: Relieves discomfort and irritability linked to teething in babies and young children.
* Headache: Can ease mild to moderate headaches in children.
* Earache: Helps reduce pain caused by ear infections or ear inflammation.
* Sore throat: Provides relief from throat pain and swallowing discomfort due to minor infections.
* Minor aches and pains: Useful for muscle pain, body aches, or pain after minor injuries like bumps or sprains.
* Post-vaccination fever or discomfort: May help lower fever and reduce soreness after routine childhood vaccinations, if advised by a healthcare professional.

## Dosage and Administration: How to use the drug safely and effectively?
* Usual Dosage: The dose of ibuprofen for children is usually based on body weight, not just age. A common dose is 5–10 mg per kg of body weight every 6–8 hours as needed, with a maximum of 40 mg per kg per day. Since this syrup contains 100 mg in 5 mL, the exact amount your child needs should be calculated carefully.
* Important: Do not use in babies under 3 months unless a doctor specifically tells you to. For children under 6 months, always ask a doctor before giving ibuprofen.
* Method of Administration:
* Shake the bottle well before use.
* Measure the dose using the provided oral syringe or dosing spoon, not a kitchen spoon.
* Give the syrup by mouth, with or after food or milk if it upsets your child’s stomach.
* You may give it with a glass of water if your child is able to drink safely.
* Do not give more often than directed, and do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
* If your child’s fever lasts more than 3 days, or pain lasts more than 3 days, seek medical advice.
