View full FDA label ↗Children's Ibuprofen Oral Suspension Dye Free is a medication that helps relieve minor aches and pains from conditions like the common cold, flu, sore throat, headache, and toothache, while also reducing fever. It works by blocking certain substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. The medication is taken as a liquid, and the starting dose depends on the child's weight or age, ranging from 5 mL for children aged 2-3 years to 15 mL for children aged 11 years, with a maximum of four doses in a day, taken every 6-8 hours. It's important to be aware that ibuprofen can cause severe allergic reactions, especially in those who are allergic to aspirin, so if any allergic symptoms occur, you should stop using it and seek medical help immediately. Additionally, if your child is taking blood thinners or has a history of stomach problems, it's best to consult a doctor before using this medication.
