About Ibugesic Plus Suspension

Ibugesic Plus 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 Suspension helps provide relief from symptoms of muscle pain, and dental pain in children. It is also used in reducing fever.

Ibugesic Plus 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 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 Suspension should be taken as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Ibugesic Plus Suspension to the child. Ibugesic Plus 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 Suspension is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Ibugesic Plus 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 Suspension is not recommended for use in children below six years of age as its safety and efficacy are not established.

Disease/Condition Glossary

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.

Ibuprofen works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body. Paracetamol lowers elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and promoting heat loss (through sweating).
Ibugesic Plus Suspension can cause diarrhea in children. If your child has diarrhea that is watery or bloody, call your doctor. Do not use anti-diarrhea medicine unless your paediatrician tells you to.
Ibuprofen and paracetamol are not considered addictive in the same way as substances like opioids. While they can lead to dependence and withdrawal symptoms if used excessively or for prolonged periods, their potential for addiction is lower.

Pain relievers, particularly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and naproxen, can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. This is because they reduce the production of prostaglandins, substances that protect the lining of the stomach and intestines. When prostaglandin levels decrease, the stomach lining becomes more vulnerable to damage from stomach acid and other irritants.
If your child's fever persists despite taking ibuprofen and paracetamol, it's important to consult a healthcare professional. They can assess your child's condition, determine the underlying cause of the fever, and recommend appropriate treatment.
To manage your child's fever, keep them hydrated by encouraging fluid intake. Dress them in light, comfortable clothes. Create a calm, cool environment. If symptoms worsen or you notice concerning signs like severe pain, difficulty breathing, or confusion, seek medical help immediately.
