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. Adverse effects can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms.
Painful and/or febrile conditions:
SUITABLE FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN WEIGHING 30 KG OR MORE (approximately 11–12 years old).
1 400-mg tablet per dose, to be repeated if necessary after 6 hours. In any case, do not exceed 3 400-mg tablets per day (1,200 mg per day).
The 400-mg tablet is intended for more severe pain or fever, or for pain or fever that is not relieved by a 200-mg ibuprofen tablet.
Regular dosing helps prevent fluctuations in pain or fever.
They must be spaced at least 6 hours apart.
Migraine:
1 400-mg tablet as soon as possible after the onset of a migraine attack.
If a patient does not experience relief after the first dose, a second dose should not be taken during the same attack. However, the attack may be treated with another medication that is neither a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug nor aspirin.
If a patient has experienced relief but symptoms recur, a second dose may be taken, provided that an interval of at least 8 hours is strictly observed between doses.
Treatment should not exceed 3 days.
Swallow the tablet whole, without chewing, with a full glass of water, preferably with a meal.
Pregnancy:
Starting at the beginning of the 6th month of pregnancy (24 weeks of amenorrhea): any use of SPEDIFEN 400 mg film-coated tablets, even a single dose, is contraindicated. Even a single dose taken from 24 weeks of amenorrhea warrants an ultrasound examination of the heart and kidneys of the fetus and/or newborn.
Unless absolutely necessary, SPEDIFEN 400 mg film-coated tablets should not be prescribed to women who are planning to become pregnant or during the first 5 months of pregnancy (before 24 weeks of amenorrhea). If prescribed, the dose should be as low as possible and the duration of treatment as short as possible. Prolonged use is strongly discouraged.
Breastfeeding:
Ibuprofen and its breakdown products/metabolites pass into breast milk. However, no effects on the breastfed newborn or infant are expected when SPEDIFEN 400 mg film-coated tablets are administered at therapeutic doses. Since the harmful effects on the infant are still unknown, it is generally not necessary to discontinue breastfeeding during short-term treatment at the recommended dose for mild to moderate pain and fever.
Fertility:
If ibuprofen is administered to a woman trying to conceive, the dose should be as low as possible and the duration of treatment as short as possible.
