Description: Ibuprofen suspension is a pharmaceutical formulation of ibuprofen in liquid form. Ibuprofen is a widely used NSAID known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. The suspension is often flavored to make it more palatable, especially for pediatric patients.

Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are substances in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By reducing the levels of prostaglandins, ibuprofen helps in alleviating pain, inflammation, and fever, making it useful for various conditions, including headaches, dental pain, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, and mild to moderate pain associated with injuries and arthritis.

Directions for Use:

1. Dosage: Follow the recommended dosage instructions provided on the packaging or as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Dosage varies based on age, weight, and the specific concentration of the suspension.
2. Administration: Ibuprofen suspension is taken orally using a measuring device provided with the packaging to ensure accurate dosing.
3. Shake Well: Always shake the suspension well before measuring and administering a dose.
4. Timing: It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food or milk may help reduce the risk of stomach upset.
5. Storage: Store the suspension in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Check the expiration date before use.

Caution:

• Consultation: Consult a healthcare professional, especially for pediatric patients, to determine the appropriate dosage based on age and weight. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
• Allergies and Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider about any allergies or other medications you are taking, as ibuprofen can interact with certain drugs and may not be suitable for individuals with specific health conditions.
• Adverse Reactions: If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction (such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing) after taking ibuprofen suspension, seek medical attention immediately.
