Nurofen for Children 7+ Years - Children's Ibuprofen Chewable Capsules

These soft chewable capsules provide targeted pain and fever relief specifically formulated for children aged 7 years and older. Each capsule contains ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain, inflammation and fever in children.

The chewable format makes administration easier for children who may struggle with traditional tablets or liquid medicines. You can trust this medicine to help manage your child's discomfort from headaches, dental pain, minor injuries, or fever associated with common childhood illnesses. For additional children's ibuprofen chewable options and other paediatric treatments, explore our comprehensive pain relief collection.

How Ibuprofen Works in Children

Ibuprofen works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause pain, inflammation and fever. When your child experiences pain or develops a fever, their body produces these prostaglandins as part of the natural inflammatory response.

By reducing prostaglandin production, ibuprofen helps lower your child's temperature and provides relief from pain and swelling. The effects typically begin within 30 minutes of administration and can last up to 8 hours, providing sustained relief for your child's symptoms.

Suitable for School-Age Children

These chewable capsules are specifically designed for children aged 7 years and older who can safely chew and swallow the soft capsule format. The age-appropriate formulation ensures your child receives the correct dose for their developmental stage.

This medicine is particularly suitable for children who:

Experience headaches or growing pains
Have dental discomfort from loose teeth or dental procedures
Suffer from minor sports injuries or playground accidents
Develop fever from common childhood infections

Convenient Chewable Format

The soft chewable design eliminates the need for water, making administration more convenient when you're away from home. This format is particularly helpful for children who dislike the taste of liquid medicines or have difficulty swallowing traditional tablets.

Each capsule is individually sealed to maintain freshness and potency. The portable packaging makes it easy to carry in your bag for school trips, holidays, or everyday activities where your child might need pain relief.

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

Store these chewable capsules in a cool, dry place below 25°C and keep them in their original packaging to protect from light and moisture. Always keep medicines out of reach and sight of children, even though this product is designed for paediatric use.

Check the expiry date before administration and never give expired medicines to your child. The sealed packaging helps maintain the medicine's effectiveness until the stated expiry date when stored correctly.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

Dosage Instructions for Children Aged 7 Years and Over

Always read the patient information leaflet carefully before giving this medicine to your child. The dosage will depend on your child's age and weight, as specified in the product packaging. Never exceed the recommended dose or give more frequently than instructed.

Ensure your child chews the capsule thoroughly before swallowing. You do not need to give this medicine with food, but it may help reduce the risk of stomach upset if your child has a sensitive stomach.

When and How to Administer

Give the medicine only when your child needs pain or fever relief. You should not give this medicine for more than 3 days for pain relief or more than 24 hours for fever without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.

If your child's symptoms persist or worsen, or if they develop new symptoms, stop giving the medicine and seek medical advice. Always leave the recommended time interval between doses as specified on the packaging.

Potential Side Effects in Children

Like all medicines, Nurofen for Children 7+ Years Chewable Capsules can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most children tolerate ibuprofen well when given according to the instructions, but you should be aware of possible reactions. If your child needs ongoing pain management, consider browsing our baby and toddler section for age-appropriate alternatives.

The most common side effects affect the digestive system and may include stomach upset, nausea, or mild abdominal discomfort. These effects are usually mild and temporary, often resolving as your child's body adjusts to the medicine.

Stomach pain or discomfort
Nausea or feeling sick
Indigestion or heartburn
Diarrhoea or loose stools
Headache or dizziness
Skin rash or itching
Drowsiness or tiredness
