Ibugesic Syrup 60 ml

Ibugesic Syrup is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) used in relieving pain. Pain can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Acute pain is a short time 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 Syrup helps relieve symptoms of mild muscle pain, aches due to cold and dental pain in children. It is also used in reducing fever.

Ibugesic Syrup contains Ibuprofen, which is an anti-inflammatory medicine. It works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, which is responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body.

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

Ibugesic Syrup is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Ibugesic Syrup to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, medications, and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions. Inform your child's doctor if he or she has gastrointestinal difficulties, liver/kidney illness, or is using any other pain relievers or fever reducers. Ibugesic Syrup is not recommended for use in children below two years of age as its safety and efficacy are not established.

Ibugesic Syrup contains Ibuprofen (an anti-inflammatory drug) as the active ingredient. Ibuprofen works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, which is responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body.

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.
