Brufen Liq is indicated for the short-term symptomatic relief of mild to moderate pain and/or fever in adults and children over 6 years of age (> 20 kg).

Active substance: Each sachet (10 ml) contains 400 mg of ibuprofen.

Dosage and method of administration:

Treatment should start with the lowest predicted effective dose, which may be adjusted further 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. The maximum single daily dose for adults and adolescents should not exceed 400 mg of ibuprofen. More than 400 mg at a single time does not provide a better analgesic effect. A total dose should not exceed 1200 mg of ibuprofen in any 24 hour period. The starting dose is 200 mg or 400 mg of ibuprofen. If necessary, additional doses of 1 or 2 equivalents (200 mg to 400 mg ibuprofen) can be taken up to 3 to 4 times a day with an interval of 4 to 6 hours. If in children and adolescents this medicine is needed for more than 3 days, or if the symptoms worsen, a doctor should be consulted.
