The active ingredient, \u003cstrong\u003eIbuprofen\u003c\/strong\u003e, works by blocking the production of prostaglandins—natural chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. This strawberry-flavored oral suspension is particularly popular for treating childhood ailments such as teething pain, post-immunization fever, and symptoms of the common cold or flu. It provides a versatile \"two-in-one\" action by reducing both the physical sensation of pain and the underlying inflammation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Product Is Used For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFever Reduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Effectively lowers high temperatures caused by infections or vaccinations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMild to Moderate Pain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Relieves headaches, toothaches, earaches, and sore throats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInflammatory Relief:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used for minor injuries like sprains, strains, and muscular aches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeething:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides comfort for infants experiencing gum pain and irritability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChronic Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Under medical supervision, it can be used for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Action:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simultaneously treats pain and reduces inflammation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChild-Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a pleasant strawberry flavor and is usually \u003cstrong\u003esugar-free and colour-free\u003c\/strong\u003e to minimize allergic reactions or hyperactivity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast Acting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Begins to reduce fever and pain within 20 to 30 minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-Lasting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides relief for up to 6–8 hours, allowing for better rest during illness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eActive Ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 5 ml of the suspension contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIbuprofen (100 mg):\u003c\/strong\u003e The primary analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInactive Ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically includes Maltitol liquid (as a sweetener), Sodium methylhydroxybenzoate (preservative), and strawberry flavoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDosage Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eoral liquid suspension (syrup)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuantity \/ Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePack size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 ml bottle.
