Safety information

Who should not use it

Do not use if your child is allergic to ibuprofen, aspirin or other anti-inflammatory painkillers (NSAIDs) or any of the ingredients, has ever had asthma, swelling, a runny nose or stomach bleeding after taking these medicines, or has (or has had) a stomach ulcer. Do not use in babies under 6kg or under 3 months without medical advice.

Warnings & precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before use if your child has asthma, or kidney, heart or bowel problems, or is dehydrated. Ibuprofen can hide the signs of an infection. Do not give with other medicines containing ibuprofen or other NSAIDs, and tell your pharmacist about any other medicines your child takes.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding

This is a medicine for young children. Ibuprofen should not be used in the later stages of pregnancy; an adult who is pregnant or breastfeeding should ask a doctor or pharmacist before taking ibuprofen themselves.

Possible side effects

The most common effects are stomach-related - indigestion, tummy ache, diarrhoea, wind or constipation. Stop use and seek medical help straight away if your child shows signs of an allergic reaction (breathing difficulty, swelling of the face or throat) or a serious skin reaction (widespread rash, blistering or peeling).

Always read the label

This is a medicine. Always read the label and patient information leaflet before use. If symptoms persist, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
