Frequently asked questions

What is Nurofen Voor Kinderen Sinaasappel used for?+
Nurofen Voor Kinderen Sinaasappel is a pediatric ibuprofen product indicated for the temporary relief of fever and mild to moderate pain in children, such as headache, toothache, sore throat, or discomfort from minor injuries.
How does ibuprofen work?+
Ibuprofen blocks the cyclo‑oxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels diminish inflammation, lower pain signals, and reset the hypothalamic temperature set‑point, thereby relieving fever.
What is the usual dose of Nurofen Voor Kinderen Sinaasappel?+
The exact dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the child’s age, weight, and clinical need. Caregivers should follow the prescriber’s instructions and use the provided measuring device for accurate dosing.
Is Nurofen Voor Kinderen Sinaasappel safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Ibuprofen is generally not recommended for use in pregnant women, especially in the third trimester, and should be used with caution while breastfeeding. Parents should consult a physician before giving the product to a nursing infant.
