How to Give Ibuprofen

When giving ibuprofen, refer to the following dosage charts for the correct dosage.

Other things to know:

Check the expiration date to make sure it's not expired. If it is, throw away the medicine and purchase a new product. For proper disposal, remove the medicine from its original container and place it in an undesirable substance that children or animals wouldn't be tempted to eat, like coffee grounds or kitty litter. Then, put it in a sealable bag inside a garbage can.
Make sure your child is not taking other medicines with ibuprofen in them. Ibuprofen is a very common ingredient in cough, cold, and allergy medicines. If your child is taking one, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before giving your child more ibuprofen. Overdosing on ibuprofen can damage the stomach or intestines.
Check the concentration and recommended dosage. Give your child a dose from the dropper, syringe, or cup that came with the product. This is especially important when giving the infant concentrated drops, which are more potent than the children's suspension concentration. This will help ensure that your child gets the right amount of milliliters, or ml (also called cc, or cubic centimeters), and doesn't overdose. Never use a measuring spoon from the kitchen or a cup or dropper from a different product. Chewables or tablets are not recommended for children younger than 6 years old due to the risk of choking.
When giving for a fever, consider the child's temperature and age. If you have an infant 3 months or younger with a rectal temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher, call your doctor or go to the emergency department immediately. If your child is between 3 months and 3 years old and has a fever of 102.2°F (39°C) or higher, call your doctor to find out if he or she needs to see your child.
If your child spits up a dose of ibuprofen without swallowing it, let your child calm down and then give the same dose again. If the ibuprofen is swallowed and then vomited up later, don't give your child another dose for at least 6 hours unless the dose was in tablet form and you can see that your child vomited up the whole tablet.
Give every 6 to 8 hours as needed, but never give your child more than four doses in 24 hours.
If your child doesn't like the flavor, you can try a product with a different flavoring.
If your child is sensitive to dyes, use a dye-free type of ibuprofen.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, more than 80% is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. max "> C _max in blood plasma is achieved when taken on an empty stomach - after 45 minutes, when taken after a meal after 1. 5-2.5 hours. Protein binding - 90%. Slowly penetrates into the joint cavity, but in the synovial fluid creates concentrations greater than in blood plasma (C _max in synovial fluid is reached after 2-3 hours). It is metabolized mainly in the liver. It undergoes pre- and post-systemic metabolism. After absorption, about 60% of the pharmacologically inactive R-form is slowly transformed into active S-form Excreted by the kidneys (60–90% in the form of metabolites and products of their combination with glucuronic acid, to a lesser extent - with bile, unchanged - no more than 1%). It has a biphasic elimination kinetics with 1/2">T _1/2 2–2.5 hours, after administration in a single dose, it is completely eliminated within 24 hours. The antipyretic effect of Ibufen develops after 30 minutes and lasts 6–8 hours.

For children from 6 months to 1 year, the drug is prescribed on the recommendation of a doctor.

Side effects

From the side of the central nervous system: headache, dizziness, sleep disturbance, anxiety, drowsiness, depression, agitation, visual impairment (reversible toxic amblyopia, blurred vision or double vision).

From the side of hematopoiesis: heart failure, tachycardia, increased blood pressure; anemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, leukopenia.

From the digestive tract: nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, heartburn, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, abnormal liver function, peptic ulcers, gastric bleeding. nine0005

From the urinary system: acute renal failure, allergic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome (edema), polyuria, cystitis.

Allergic reactions: itching, rash, bronchospastic syndrome, allergic rhinitis, angioedema, Steven-Johnson syndrome, Lyell's syndrome.

Interactions

Should not be combined with other NSAIDs (acetylsalicylic acid reduces anti-inflammatory effect and increases side effects). When taken simultaneously with diuretics, the diuretic effect decreases and the risk of developing renal failure increases. Weakens the effect of antihypertensive drugs, incl. ACE inhibitors (simultaneously reduces their excretion by the kidneys), beta-adrenergic agents, thiazides. Enhances the effect of oral hypoglycemic agents (especially sulfonylurea derivatives) and insulin, indirect anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, fibrinolytics (increases the risk of hemorrhagic complications), the toxic effect of methotrexate and lithium preparations, increases the concentration of digoxin in the blood. nine0005

Microsomal oxidation inducers (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, zixorin, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants) increase the risk of developing severe hepatotoxic complications (increase the production of hydroxylated active metabolites), microsomal oxidation inhibitors reduce it. Caffeine enhances the pain-relieving effect.

Overdose

Symptoms: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, headache, tinnitus, depression, drowsiness, metabolic acidosis, hemorrhagic diathesis, decreased blood pressure, acute renal failure, abnormal liver function, tachycardia, bradycardia, atrial fibrillation; convulsions, apnea and coma (especially characteristic of children under 5 years of age). nine0005

Treatment: gastric lavage, administration of activated charcoal, alkaline drink, symptomatic therapy (correction of acid-base balance, blood pressure).

Precautions

Use with caution in cirrhosis of the liver with portal hypertension, hepatic and/or renal insufficiency, heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, hyperbilirubinemia, gastric and duodenal ulcer (history), gastritis, enteritis, colitis, diseases blood (leukopenia, anemia), pregnancy (II-III trimesters), during breastfeeding. In patients with bronchial asthma or other diseases that occur with bronchospasm, there may be an increased risk of developing bronchospasm. nine0005

During long-term treatment, it is necessary to control the picture of peripheral blood and the functional state of the liver and kidneys. When symptoms of gastropathy appear, careful monitoring is indicated (conducting esophagogastroduodenoscopy, a blood test with the determination of hemoglobin, hematocrit, fecal occult blood analysis).

If there is no antipyretic effect within 2 days and no analgesic effect within 3 days, you should consult a doctor. In case of side effects, stop taking the drug and consult a doctor. nine0005

Special instructions

Shake the vial before use until a homogeneous suspension is obtained. With prolonged use, NSAIDs can cause damage to the gastric mucosa, peptic ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Use with caution in diabetic patients - contains sugar.

If side effects occur, stop taking the drug and consult a doctor.

Pharmacological effect

Ibuprofen is a derivative of propionic acid and has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects due to non-selective blockade of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 and has an inhibitory effect on the synthesis of prostaglandins. The analgesic effect is most pronounced in inflammatory pain. The analgesic activity of the drug does not belong to the narcotic type. Like all NSAIDs, ibuprofen exhibits antiplatelet activity. nine0005

Pharmacokinetics

Ibuprofen is well absorbed from the stomach. Tmax - about 1 hour. Absorption is slightly reduced when taking the drug after meals. Ibuprofen is approximately 99% bound to plasma proteins. It is slowly distributed in the synovial fluid and excreted from it more slowly than from plasma. Ibuprofen is metabolized in the liver mainly by hydroxylation and carboxylation of the isobutyl group. The CYP2C9 isoenzyme is involved in the metabolism of the drug.. After absorption, about 60% of the pharmacologically inactive R-form of ibuprofen is slowly transformed into the active S-form. Ibuprofen has a biphasic elimination kinetics. The half-life (T1 / 2) from plasma is 2-3 hours. Up to 90% of the dose can be found in the urine as metabolites and their conjugates. Less than 1% is excreted unchanged in the urine and, to a lesser extent, in the bile. Ibuprofen is completely eliminated within 24 hours.

Indications

Pain of various origins: headaches, migraine, menstrual pain, toothache, muscle pain, bone and joint pain, sacro-lumbar pain, post-traumatic pain, neuralgia, incl. neuralgia of the sciatic nerve, fever, fever with colds and flu. nine0005
