Ibugesic Plus Oral Suspension Orange is a combination medicine used to lower body temperature (fever) and reduce pain and inflammation in infants and children. It contains two active ingredients, ibuprofen and paracetamol, which belong to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) class of medicines.
It is important to give this medicine to your child according to the prescribed dose, time, and way to get the most benefit. It should be given orally, preferably after meals to reduce the chance of an upset stomach. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medicine, give the same dose again. However, if it is time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular dosing schedule. It is important to never give more than the recommended dose for fast relief as it may cause unwanted effects in your child.
Side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, and diarrhea may occur after taking this medicine. These side effects are usually temporary and should subside once your child's body adapts to the medicine. If they persist or become bothersome, consult your child's doctor immediately.
Before giving this medicine to your child, inform the doctor if your child is allergic to any medicine or products, or has a history of heart problems, birth defects, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, or bleeding disorder. This information is crucial for dose alteration and helps in planning your child's overall treatment.
