Frequently asked questions

What is Nurofen For Children Strawberry used for?+
Nurofen For Children Strawberry contains ibuprofen, an NSAID formulated as a strawberry‑flavoured oral suspension. It is intended to relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache, toothache, or muscular discomfort, and to reduce fever in pediatric patients as directed by a healthcare professional.
How does ibuprofen work?+
Ibuprofen works by reversibly inhibiting the cyclooxygenase‑1 (COX‑1) and cyclooxygenase‑2 (COX‑2) enzymes. This inhibition blocks the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins, which are key mediators of inflammation, pain, and fever, thereby providing analgesic, antipyretic, and anti‑inflammatory effects.
What is the usual dose for this product?+
The appropriate dose of Nurofen For Children Strawberry is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the child’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Caregivers should follow the exact amount measured with the supplied dosing device and the instructions provided by the healthcare professional.
Is it safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Ibuprofen is generally not recommended during the third trimester of pregnancy and should be used only if clearly needed and prescribed by a qualified professional. Limited data are available for breastfeeding; a prescriber should evaluate the risk‑benefit ratio before use in lactating mothers.
How do I order Nurofen For Children Strawberry from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, and will request verification of trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does it compare with the main alternative drug or class?+
The primary alternative for pediatric fever and pain is paracetamol (acetaminophen), which acts centrally to reduce temperature and pain. Ibuprofen, as an NSAID, additionally provides anti‑inflammatory effects by inhibiting COX enzymes. Choice between the two depends on the clinical scenario, safety profile, and physician recommendation.
How should the product be stored and handled?+
Store the oral suspension at ambient temperature, ideally below 25 °C, in its original container. Protect it from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and discard any remaining product after the expiration date indicated on the label.
How is the product administered?+
Nurofen For Children Strawberry is administered orally. The dose should be measured with the calibrated dosing device supplied with the product. It can be given directly into the mouth or mixed with a small amount of food or drink if needed, ensuring the child consumes the entire measured dose.
What are the most serious risks to watch for?+
Serious adverse reactions, although uncommon, include allergic responses such as rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, and renal impairment especially in dehydrated children or those with pre‑existing kidney disease. Immediate medical attention is required if any of these symptoms occur.
Who should not use this product?+
Children with known hypersensitivity to ibuprofen or any other NSAID, those with active gastrointestinal bleeding, severe renal or hepatic impairment, or a history of asthma exacerbated by NSAIDs should avoid this product. Additionally, it is contraindicated in children for whom a prescriber has advised against NSAID use.
