Pregnancy interaction:
Pregnancy: Ibufen Syrup is not safe to take during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, because it could close the fetal ductus arteriosus and damage the baby's kidney function.
First and Second Trimesters: Only use if a doctor says you need to and plainly needs to.
Third Trimester: Not recommended because it could harm the baby's heart and kidneys.
Breastfeeding: Ibuprofen gets into breast milk in very small amounts, thus it is usually safe to use while breastfeeding. However, you should avoid using it for a long time or at excessive doses.
Expert advice:
To lessen stomach upset, take Ibufen Syrup after meals.
Do not drink alcohol while taking this prescription because it makes gastrointestinal bleeding more likely.
Tell your doctor if you have asthma, a peptic ulcer, kidney disease, or liver illness before you start using this prescription.
Your doctor should tell you if you can take this with other NSAIDs, including aspirin or naproxen.
To make sure you get the right dose, use the measuring cup that comes with it.
Children: The dose depends on how much they weigh and how old they are. Always talk to a pediatrician before giving it to a child.

How to use:
Before each usage, shake the bottle well.

Take it with or after a meal to avoid an upset stomach.
Carefully follow the doctor's directions on how much to take.

How it works:
Ibuprofen is in Ibufen Syrup, and it stops the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) from working. This enzyme makes prostaglandins, which are molecules that cause pain, swelling, and fever.
Ibufen:
Eases discomfort
Lessens swelling
Brings down fever
