Safety & Prevention
Safety & Prevention
Ibuprofen (also known as Motrin® and Advil®) is a medicine used to reduce fever and pain.
It is an “over-the-counter” medicine, meaning that you can get it without a doctor’s prescription.
This table* can help you figure out the right amount to give. (Find a print-friendly version here.) Use your child’s weight to decide on the right amount to give. If you do not know your child’s weight, use your child’s age. Be sure to check with your child’s doctor to make sure you are giving the right amount.
*Table notes:
Age of child: Do not use ibuprofen in children who are less than 6 months old unless your child’s doctor tells you to. This is because it has not been found to be safe in children less than 6 months old. The use of the medicine in children less than 6 months is also not approved by the FDA. It is also best not to give medicines with more than one ingredient in it to children less than 6 years of age.
Dosage: Determine by finding child’s weight in the top row of the dosage table.
Measuring the dose for liquid medicines (should be in “mL” or metric units): It is easier to give the right amount of liquid medicine when using a syringe than when using a kitchen teaspoon or tablespoon. Use the syringe or dosing cup that comes with the medicine. If a tool does not come with the medicine, ask your pharmacist for one.- Ibuprofen drops: Ibuprofen infant drops come with a measuring syringe.
Adult dosage: 400 mg
How often to give the medicine (frequency): You can give ibuprofen every 6-8 hours if needed.

Indications for use
Ibuprofen is used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or Still’s disease), ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, and other non-rheumatoid (seronegative) arthropathies. Ibuprofen is indicated for the treatment of non-rheumatic inflammatory conditions of the periarticular tissues such as frozen shoulder (inflammation of the lining of the joint), bursitis, tendinitis, tendovaginitis and back pain.
Ibuprofen can also be used to relieve pain from soft tissue injuries such as sprains. Ibuprofen is also indicated as an analgesic for mild to moderate pain in conditions such as dysmenorrhea, dental or postoperative pain, and for the symptomatic relief of headaches, including migraines.
Contraindications
Ibuprofen is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the active or excipients of the drug.
Ibuprofen should not be used in patients who have previously experienced hypersensitivity reactions (eg, asthma, urticaria, angioedema, or rhinitis) after taking ibuprofen, aspirin, or other NSAIDs.
Ibuprofen is also contraindicated in patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation associated with previous ibuprofen therapy. Ibuprofen should not be used in patients with recurrent peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding (two or more episodes of proven ulceration or bleeding). Ibuprofen should not be prescribed to patients with conditions that are accompanied by an increased tendency to bleeding.
Ibuprofen is contraindicated in patients with severe heart, hepatic or renal impairment.
Ibuprofen is contraindicated during the last trimester of pregnancy.
Dosage and administration
For oral administration. It is advisable to use during or after a meal with water. Tablets should be swallowed whole, not chewed, broken or crushed to avoid discomfort and irritation of the throat.
Side effects can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for a short time.
Adults: The recommended dosage of ibuprofen is 1200-1800 mg daily in divided doses. Some patients may take 600-1200 mg of ibuprofen per day. In severe or acute conditions, the dosage can be increased, provided that the total daily dose does not exceed 2400 mg, in divided doses.
Children: The daily dose of ibuprofen is 20 mg/kg of body weight in divided doses. In juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, the dose may be increased to 40 mg/kg body weight in divided doses.
Not recommended for children weighing less than 7 kg.
Elderly: the elderly are at increased risk of side effects. If it is necessary to use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ibuprofen should be used at a low effective dose for a short time. The patient should regularly check the absence of gastrointestinal bleeding while taking NSAIDs. In the presence of renal or hepatic insufficiency, the dosage should be determined individually.

Covid-19 and ibuprofen: myths and truths about drugs against the virus

Recently, information has been circulating on the net that ibuprofen, nurofen and other anti-inflammatory drugs should not be taken with coronavirus symptoms. Along with the advice of real doctors, a lot of fakes have appeared. What is happening and what information to trust?
In a commentary to the BBC, doctors confirmed that ibuprofen is indeed not recommended for suspected coronavirus. However, people taking this drug for other reasons should not stop taking it without consulting their doctor.

What is the essence of the controversy about ibuprofen?
Ibuprofen belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
They help bring down a fever and relieve symptoms of the flu or other viral infection, but they can also cause side effects, especially in people with asthma, heart problems, and poor blood circulation.
No studies have been conducted on the effects of ibuprofen on Covid-19 symptoms, but the drug has previously been studied for other respiratory infections. It has been proven that in some cases it can actually aggravate the patient’s condition.
The main conclusion of the experts is that the anti-inflammatory component of ibuprofen can reduce the effectiveness of the human immune system in fighting the virus.

The UK National Health System (NHS) website recently announced that although the harm from ibuprofen in coronavirus has not yet been fully proven, citizens are asked to refrain from using it.
Previously, the NHS did not share concerns about anti-inflammatory drugs.

“If you have a fever, take paracetamol. If you are already taking an anti-inflammatory drug for another reason or are not sure what to do, see a doctor,” urges French Health Minister Olivier Veran, a neurologist by training.
Lecturer and scientific advisor at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine Tom Wingfield recommends paracetamol as it causes fewer side effects.
“Non-steroid drugs such as ibuprofen, especially when taken for a long time, can cause stomach irritation and stress on the kidneys.
This can be dangerous for patients with a predisposition to stomach and kidney disease,” says Tom Wingfield.
“At the moment, symptoms such as fever and sore throat are best treated with paracetamol,” says Charlotte Warren-Gash, professor of epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She calls for research into the effects of anti-inflammatory drugs on patients with certain pre-existing conditions as soon as possible.
On Thursday, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially advised people with Covid-19 symptoms to avoid ibuprofen.

At the same time, there were a number of reports that people in serious condition were admitted to hospitals in different countries, allegedly taking ibuprofen with a fever and cough.
However, the hospitals mentioned denied this information.
One report, for example, stated that experts from the University of Vienna claim that ibuprofen creates a favorable environment in the body for Covid-19, which is the reason for such a catastrophic situation in Italy.
