Dosage and method of administration:

Treatment should start with the lowest predicted effective dose, which can be adjusted later depending on the therapeutic response and any undesirable effects. Adults and adolescents over 12 years (≥ 40 kg). The dose of ibuprofen depends on the patient's age and body weight.

If this medicine is needed for more than 3 days in children and adolescents, or if symptoms worsen, a doctor should be consulted.
