Brufen Ibuprofen Bustina

Brufen belongs to a group of medicines called ‘non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs’ or NSAIDs.

It is available in 2 dosages: 400mg and 600 mg.

This medicine is for short-term use in adults and adolescents over 12 years (40 kg and above):

• to relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache and toothache
• to relieve period pain
• to reduce fever (high temperature)

Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.

Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age (40 kg or above): Take one sachet (400 mg) as a single dose or up to 3 times a day with an interval of 4 to 6 hours. More than 400 mg at a time does not give a better analgesic effect. Do not take more than a total of 3 sachets (1200 mg) in any 24 hours.

How long to continue treatment: If symptoms worsen, or do not improve within 3 days with fever and 5 days with pain consult your doctor. If, in adolescents, aged 12-18 years, symptoms worsen, or if this product is required for more than 3 days, a doctor should be consulted.

Pregnancy: Do not take this medicine if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine if you are planning a pregnancy, or are in the first 6 months of pregnancy. You should only take this medicine on the advice of your doctor.

Breast-feeding: Ibuprofen is excreted in breast milk but is not likely to have an effect on the infant. Consult a doctor if you use Brufen more often than temporarily while breast-feeding.
