What Experts Say

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti inflammatory medicine that blocks the chemicals responsible for pain, swelling and fever. Pediatricians commonly recommend the suspension form for children because it allows precise, weight based dosing that tablets cannot offer at a young age.

Doctors advise giving this suspension after food or milk to reduce the chance of stomach upset. It should not be used in children with dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea, since ibuprofen can affect kidney function when the body is short on fluids.

A very important local caution concerns dengue fever, which is common during Pakistan's monsoon season. Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs are not recommended when dengue is suspected because they can raise bleeding risk. Paracetamol is the safer fever reducer until dengue has been ruled out by a doctor. Parents should seek medical review if a child's fever lasts more than two days or is paired with rash or bleeding gums.

Drug Class

Artijesic belongs to the nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug class, working by blocking prostaglandin production to reduce pain, fever and inflammation.
