Ibuprofen is an NSAID that reduces inflammation, pain, and fever in pediatric patients.

Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in children Mild to moderate pain: alleviates pain from common childhood conditions such as teething, earache, or sore throat Headache: reduces headache intensity in children Muscle aches: eases discomfort from minor strains or sprains Dental pain: provides relief after tooth extraction or dental procedures

Common side effects are generally mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Stomach upset or mild abdominal pain - Nausea or occasional vomiting - Diarrhoea or constipation - Headache or mild dizziness

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration - Severe allergic reactions such as rash, angioedema, or anaphylaxis - Elevated liver enzymes or hepatic dysfunction - Impaired kidney function, especially with dehydration or concurrent nephrotoxic drugs

When using ibuprofen in children, several safety measures should be observed.

Age restriction: not for children under 3 months unless directed by a healthcare professional Dose based on weight: follow the prescriber’s instructions for each individual child Avoid concurrent NSAIDs: do not combine with aspirin, naproxen, or other ibuprofen products Caution with asthma or kidney disease: monitor closely if the child has a history of asthma, renal impairment, or dehydration Do not exceed recommended duration: prolonged use should be under medical supervision Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight

Ibuprofen can interact with several drug classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Other NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin, naproxen): increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): enhanced anticoagulant effect and bleeding risk - Corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone): synergistic gastrointestinal toxicity

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs (e.g., lisinopril): may reduce renal function, especially in dehydrated children - Diuretics (e.g., furosemide): potential for reduced kidney perfusion - Lithium: ibuprofen may increase lithium serum concentrations, requiring level monitoring
