Nurofen For Children Soft Chews - Children's Ibuprofen Chewable Capsules

You can provide your child with effective pain and fever relief using these soft chewable capsules. Each capsule contains ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain, inflammation and fever in children aged 7 years and over.

The soft chew format makes it easier for children who struggle with traditional tablets or liquid medicines. You'll find these capsules have a pleasant taste that children accept more readily than other pain relief options. This pack contains 12 capsules, providing convenient relief when your child needs it most.

How Ibuprofen Works to Reduce Pain and Fever

Ibuprofen works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in your child's body that cause pain, inflammation and fever. By reducing these prostaglandins, the medicine helps lower your child's temperature and provides relief from various types of pain.

You can expect the medicine to start working within 30 minutes to 1 hour after your child takes it. The effects typically last for 6 to 8 hours, providing sustained relief throughout the day or night. For comprehensive pain management options, you might also consider browsing our pain relief collection for additional suitable products.

Suitable for Children with Various Pain and Fever Conditions

These soft chews are appropriate for children aged 7 years and over who experience different types of discomfort. You can use them to help manage your child's symptoms from various common childhood conditions.

The medicine is suitable for treating:

Headaches and mild to moderate pain
Fever associated with colds and flu
Toothache and dental pain
Minor injuries and sprains

Why Choose Soft Chewable Format for Your Child

The soft chew design offers practical advantages for both you and your child. Unlike liquid medicines that require measuring, these pre-dosed capsules eliminate the risk of dosing errors. Your child can chew them easily without needing water, making administration simpler during illness.

The pleasant taste helps ensure your child takes their medicine without resistance. This format is particularly helpful for children who have difficulty swallowing tablets or who dislike the taste of liquid ibuprofen preparations.

Storage and Clinical Considerations

You should store these capsules in a cool, dry place below 25°C and keep them out of reach of children. Check the expiry date before giving them to your child and never exceed the recommended dose or frequency.

These capsules are not suitable for children under 7 years of age or those with certain medical conditions including asthma, kidney problems, or stomach ulcers. Always read the patient information leaflet carefully before use.

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.

Recommended Dosage for Children Aged 7 Years and Over

You should give your child the appropriate dose based on their age and weight. For children aged 7 to 9 years, give one capsule up to three times daily. Children aged 10 to 12 years can take one to two capsules up to three times daily, while those aged 12 years and over may take up to two capsules up to three times daily.

You must leave at least 6 hours between doses and never give more than the maximum daily amount. Do not exceed three doses in any 24-hour period. If your child's symptoms persist for more than 3 days, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist.

How to Administer the Soft Chewable Capsules

Your child should chew the capsule thoroughly before swallowing. They do not need to take it with water, though they may drink afterwards if they wish. You can give the medicine with or without food, although taking it with food may help reduce the chance of stomach upset.

Ensure your child chews the capsule completely rather than swallowing it whole. The soft texture makes this easy and comfortable for most children. Always supervise young children when they take their medicine to ensure proper administration.

Understanding Potential Side Effects

Like all medicines, Nurofen For Children Soft Chews can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most children tolerate ibuprofen well when you give it according to the instructions. If you're managing multiple health concerns for your child, you might find our baby and toddler collection helpful for other healthcare needs.

The most common side effects affect the stomach and digestive system. These typically occur when the medicine is taken on an empty stomach or at higher than recommended doses.

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
