What Experts Say

Ibuprofen belongs to the nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug class. It works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers production of prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain, fever and swelling. This gives ibuprofen its combined analgesic, antipyretic and anti inflammatory action, similar to other NSAIDs though generally well tolerated at standard pediatric doses.

In suspension form, ibuprofen is commonly used for children because liquid dosing allows the amount to be adjusted closely to body weight. Onset of fever relief typically occurs within thirty to sixty minutes, with effects lasting around six to eight hours.

Ibuprofen should be given with food or milk to reduce stomach upset. Because it affects prostaglandins involved in protecting the stomach lining and maintaining kidney blood flow, it needs caution in children with dehydration, kidney problems or a history of stomach ulcers.
