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. .
Read the package insert carefully before use. To minimize the risk of digestive upset, this medication may be taken with meals. However, in cases of acute pain, taking it on an empty stomach ensures a faster effect. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water; do not chew them.
Pain and fever:
Adults and children weighing more than 30 kg (approximately 11–12 years old): 1 capsule; repeat if necessary after a minimum of 6 hours, without exceeding 3 capsules 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: Take 1 capsule as soon as the attack begins. There is no need to take another tablet if the effect was insufficient. However, if symptoms reappear, you may take 1 additional capsule, allowing at least 8 hours between doses. Do not exceed 3 days of treatment.
This 400 mg dosage is intended for use when 200 mg of ibuprofen is not sufficiently effective. It may, however, be used from the outset to treat severe pain.
Do not exceed the dosage or treatment duration recommended by your doctor or pharmacist to minimize side effects.
Pregnancy:
Taking NSAIDs during pregnancy exposes the unborn child to harmful effects (heart and lung malformations, kidney dysfunction, etc.) that can have serious or even fatal consequences. The risks vary depending on the stage of pregnancy:
- during the first 5 months of pregnancy, this medication should only be used when absolutely necessary, and exclusively by prescription;
- during the last 4 months, the risk exists even with a single dose and even at the end of pregnancy. The use of this medication is therefore strictly contraindicated during this period.
If you are pregnant and have taken an NSAID by mistake, inform your doctor immediately.
Breastfeeding:
NSAIDs pass into breast milk: this medication is not recommended while breastfeeding.
