Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension 100 ml

Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in relieving pain. Pain can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Acute pain is a short-term pain caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or other organs. Chronic pain lasts for a long duration and is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, etc. Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension helps provide relief from symptoms of muscle pain, and dental pain in children. It is also used in reducing fever.

Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension is a combination medicine containing two drugs namely: Ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory effect) and Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic). Ibuprofen works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body. Paracetamol lowers the elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and promoting heat loss (through sweating) that helps reset the hypothalamic thermostat.

Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension may cause certain side effects in your child, such as abdominal pain, headache, cold-like nose symptoms (in children), or diarrhoea (in children). These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician. Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension should be taken as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension to the child. Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension can be given with or without food. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending on the type and severity of the infection.

Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, including his current medications and medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, inform your child’s doctor about liver and kidney disease. Ibugesic Plus Strawberry Suspension is not recommended for use in children below six years of age as its safety and efficacy are not established.

Pain: Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Acute pain is for a short time caused by damage to the tissues of the muscle, bone, or organs. In contrast, chronic pain lasts for a longer duration. It is caused due to pathologies like nerve damage, Osteoarthritis, and dental pain due to damage to the tooth nerve, infection, decay, extraction, or injury. Many women have painful periods known as dysmenorrhea, most often menstrual cramps. On the other hand, Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that results in chronic pain in joints (especially the knee) and stiffness making daily tasks difficult.

Fever: Fever is not a disease but a sign that your body is trying to fight an infection or illness in which your body’s immune system gets activated to fight infections caused by bacteria or viruses. A normal temperature is around 98.6 F but may vary from person to person. Fever is caused due to the ‘pyrogen’ released by the hypothalamus part of the brain. This pyrogen causes heat-generating effects to match a new higher temperature set point to fight infection.
