Use during pregnancy and lactation

Nurofen is not prescribed during pregnancy, lactation and children weighing less than 7 kg.

Dosage and administration

Nurofen is prescribed for adults and children over 12 years old by mouth, after meals in tablets of 200 mg 3-4 times a day. The tablets should be taken with water.

To achieve a rapid therapeutic effect in adults, the dose may be increased to 400 mg (2 tablets) 3 times a day.

Children from 6 to 12 years old: 1 tablet no more than 4 times a day; the drug can only be used if the child weighs more than 20 kg. The interval between taking the tablets is at least 6 hours. Do not exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours. The maximum daily dose is 1200 mg. IF symptoms persist after taking the drug for 2-3 days, stop treatment and consult a doctor.

Side effects

From the digestive system: nausea, vomiting, discomfort or pain in the epigastrium, diarrhea, erosive and ulcerative lesions of the mucous membrane and bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract.
Allergic reactions: skin rash, itching, urticaria, exacerbation of bronchial asthma.
From the side of the central nervous system: headache, dizziness.
From the urinary system: impaired renal function.
On the part of the hematopoietic organs: anemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, leukopenia.

special instructions

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, including esophagogastroduodeposcopy, complete blood count (hemoglobin determination), fecal occult blood analysis. If it is necessary to determine 17-ketosteroids, the drug should be discontinued 48 hours before the study. Freemen must refrain from all types of activities that require increased attention, quick mental and motor reactions. During the treatment period, you should refrain from drinking alcohol.

drug interaction

Simultaneous administration of Nurofen tablets with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and other NSAIDs is not recommended. With the simultaneous appointment of ibuprofen reduces the anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet effect of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) (it is possible to increase the incidence of acute coronary insufficiency in patients

Receiving low doses of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as an antiplatelet agent after starting ibuprofen). 1 When administered with anticoagulant and thrombolytic drugs (alteplase, streptokinase, urokipase), the risk of bleeding increases at the same time. Cefamandol, cefoperazone, cefotetan, valproic acid, plicamycin, increase the purity of the development of hypoprothrombinemia. Cyclosporine and gold preparations increase the effect of ibuprofen on the synthesis of prostaglandins in the kidneys, which is manifested by an increase in nephrotoxicity. Ibuprofen increases the plasma concentration of cyclosporine and the likelihood of developing its hepatotoxic effects. Drugs that block tubular secretion reduce excretion and increase the plasma concentration of ibuprofen. Microsomal oxidation inducers (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, rifampicin, fepilbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants) increase the production of hydroxylated active metabolites, increasing the risk of developing severe hepatotoxic reactions. Microsomal oxidation inhibitors - reduce the risk of hepatotoxicity. Reduces the hypotensive activity of vasodilators, natriuretic in furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide. Reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric drugs, enhances the effect of indirect anticoagulants, antiaggregants, fibrinolytics. Enhances the side effects of mineralocorticosteroids, glucocorticosteroids, estrogens, ethanol. Enhances the effect of oral hypoglycemic drugs, sulfonylurea and insulin derivatives. Antacids and cholestyramine reduce absorption. Increases the concentration in the blood of digoxin, lithium preparations, methotrexate. Caffeine enhances the analgesic effect.

Nurofen for children (tablets) (Nurofen for children)

Compound

1 film-coated tablet of Nurofen for children contains:
Ibuprofen - 200 mg;
Additional ingredients including sucrose.

pharmachologic effect

Nurofen for children is an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic. Nurofen for children in the form of tablets contains the active ingredient ibuprofen, a non-narcotic analgesic with a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Ibuprofen is a non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor that inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxane A from arachidonic acid. Due to a decrease in the level of prostaglandins in the nervous tissue, when taking ibuprofen, there is a decrease in the generation and conduction of a pain impulse.
The anti-inflammatory effect of the drug Nurofen for children is realized by reducing the level of prostaglandins in the focus of inflammation, and the antipyretic effect is due to a decrease in the level of prostaglandins in the thermoregulation center in the hypothalamus.

Ibuprofen reduces platelet aggregation by reducing the level of thromboxane A.
When taken orally, ibuprofen is well absorbed into the systemic circulation and reaches peak plasma concentrations within 1-2 hours. About 90% of ibuprofen binds to plasma proteins. The active component of the drug Nurofen for children penetrates into the synovial fluid (concentrations in synovial fluid exceed those in plasma).
Ibuprofen is metabolized in the liver to inactive derivatives. It is excreted mainly by the kidneys in the form of metabolites. The half-life of the active component of the drug Nurofen for children reaches 2 hours.

Indications for use

Nurofen for children in the form of tablets is used as a symptomatic remedy for pain in children over 6 years of age and adults (including toothache, headache and joint pain, migraine, algomenorrhea).
Nurofen for children in the form of tablets can also be prescribed as an antipyretic for infectious diseases.

Mode of application

Nurofen for children in the form of tablets is intended for oral use. It is recommended to take the drug after meals with plenty of drinking water. Nurofen in the form of tablets is used to treat adults and children over 12 years of age. The duration of therapy and the dose of ibuprofen is determined by the attending physician.
Children over 12 years of age and adults are usually prescribed 1 tablet of Nurofen for children no more than 4 times a day.
With severe pain in adults, the dose may be increased to 400 mg ibuprofen.
Children from 6 to 12 years old are prescribed to take 1 tablet of Nurofen for children no more than 4 times a day under the supervision of a physician.

The maximum recommended daily dose of ibuprofen for children over 6 years of age is 800 mg, for adults - 1200 mg.
The recommended interval between single doses is at least 6 hours.
If within 3 days there is no improvement in the clinical picture, you should contact your doctor.
With prolonged (more than 3 days) taking the drug Nurofen for children in the form of tablets, the peripheral blood picture, as well as the function of the kidneys and liver, should be monitored. It should be borne in mind that with prolonged use, the risk of side effects increases, including from the digestive tract.

Side effects

With short-term (2-3 days) use of the drug Nurofen for children in the form of tablets, there was practically no development of undesirable effects. Mostly when taking high doses of ibuprofen or long-term use of the drug in patients, the following undesirable effects were noted:

From the digestive tract: vomiting, heartburn, stool disorders, loss of appetite, pain in the epigastric region, flatulence. In rare cases, the development of ulcerative lesions of the digestive tract, pain in the abdominal region, dryness, irritation and ulceration of the oral mucosa, hepatitis and pancreatitis, as well as gastrointestinal bleeding has been noted.
From the nervous system: depression, headache, insomnia, dizziness, drowsiness, agitation or fatigue, confusion. In rare cases, the development of hallucinations and aseptic meningitis was noted (mainly in patients with autoimmune diseases).
