Piccan Ibuprofen Oral Suspension is an over-the-counter pediatric anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and fever-reducing liquid medication. It contains the active ingredient Ibuprofen (100mg per 5ml), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
It is specially formulated for infants and children to deliver fast, effective relief from fever, teething pain, toothaches, sore throats, earaches, post-immunization pyrexia, and minor aches or sprains.
Piccan Ibuprofen works directly at the site of inflammation and pain:
Reduces Fever Fast: Lowers elevated body temperatures for up to 8 hours, helping sick children rest comfortably.
Relieves Pain & Swelling: Blocks COX enzymes that produce prostaglandins—the natural body chemicals responsible for pain, fever, and tissue inflammation.
🚨 Avoid Combination Use: Do not give Piccan Ibuprofen alongside other ibuprofen-containing products or other NSAIDs (such as aspirin or naproxen).
🚨 Infant Caution: Do not give to infants under 3 months of age or weighing less than 5kg, unless specifically directed by a pediatrician.
🚨 Medical Alert: Consult a doctor before giving ibuprofen if your child has a history of asthma, stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders, or kidney conditions.
Recommended Dosage by Age/Weight (100mg/5ml concentration):
3 to 6 Months (5.6kg to 7kg): 2.5ml up to 3 times in 24 hours.
6 to 12 Months (7kg to 10kg): 2.5ml up to 3 times in 24 hours.
1 to 3 Years (10kg to 15kg): 5ml up to 3 times in 24 hours.
4 to 6 Years (15kg to 20kg): 7.5ml up to 3 times in 24 hours.
7 to 9 Years (20kg to 30kg): 10ml up to 3 times in 24 hours.
10 to 12 Years (30kg to 40kg): 15ml up to 3 times in 24 hours.
How to Administer:
Shake the bottle well before each use.
Use the dosage syringe or measuring spoon provided.
Space doses 6 to 8 hours apart. Do not exceed the maximum daily doses within 24 hours.
Take preferably with or after food or milk to avoid stomach discomfort.
Piccan Ibuprofen Suspension is generally safe and well-tolerated by children. Minor side effects are uncommon but can include:
Mild stomach irritation, indigestion, or nausea.
Mild diarrhea or abdominal discomfort.
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C.
Protect from direct sunlight and heat.
Keep the bottle tightly capped when not in use.
Keep strictly out of reach of children.
If fever or pain does not respond to a single medicine, alternating between paracetamol and ibuprofen may be considered under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist. Never exceed the daily maximum limits for either medicine.
It typically begins to reduce fever and relieve pain within 15 to 30 minutes after administration, providing sustained relief for up to 8 hours.
It is always best to give ibuprofen after a feed, milk, or a small meal to protect your child's delicate stomach lining from potential irritation.
