In stockThis is a medicine. Information on precautions for use (drug interactions, contraindications, special warnings, adverse reactions...) and dosage are detailed in the summary of product characteristics.
In accordance with current regulations, any suspected adverse effect of a medication must be reported: Een bijwerking melden. .
To minimize the occurrence of digestive upset, this medication can be taken with meals along with a large glass of water. However, in cases of acute pain, taking it on an empty stomach ensures a faster effect. Doses should be spaced at least 6 hours apart.
The capsules are not suitable for children under 6 years of age. This is because they may obstruct the airways if the child swallows improperly and the capsule enters the windpipe (aspiration).
Usual dosage:
Pain and fever:
Adults and children weighing more than 30 kg (approximately 11–12 years old): 1 to 2 capsules of 200 mg, to be repeated if necessary after a minimum of 6 hours. Do not exceed 6 200-mg capsules (i.e., 1200 mg per day).
Children weighing 20 to 30 kg (approximately 6 to 11 years old): 1 200-mg capsule, to be repeated every 6 hours if necessary. Do not exceed 3 200-mg capsules per day (600 mg per day).
Unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional, treatment should be limited to 5 days for pain and 3 days for fever.
Migraine attack:
Adults: 1 400-mg capsule, to be taken at the onset of the attack. There is no need to take another capsule if the effect was insufficient. However, if symptoms return, you may take 1 additional capsule, allowing at least 8 hours between doses. Do not exceed 3 days of treatment.
The 400 mg dose is intended for use when the 200 mg dose of ibuprofen is not effective enough. However, it may be used from the outset to treat severe pain. Do not use during pregnancy (strictly contraindicated during the last 4 months of pregnancy) or while breastfeeding without consulting a doctor. Read the package insert carefully before use.
