Pedifen® 100 mg/5 mL Pediatric Syrup (Ibuprofen) for Fever and Pain Relief in Children

Pedifen® 100 mg/5 mL Pediatric Syrup contains ibuprofen, a medicine that helps relieve fever, pain, and inflammation in children. Doctors and healthcare professionals commonly recommend Pedifen pediatric syrup for children who need safe and effective pain relief.

Ibuprofen belongs to a group of medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Specifically, it reduces substances in the body that cause pain, swelling, and fever. As a result, Pedifen helps children feel more comfortable.

In addition, doctors often recommend Pedifen 100 mg/5 mL Pediatric Syrup for conditions such as fever, headache, ear pain, sore throat, toothache, and minor injuries. Furthermore, the medicine helps reduce inflammation associated with infections.

The medicine comes in a pediatric syrup form. Therefore, caregivers can measure and give the correct dose more easily. Consequently, children can take the medicine safely and comfortably.

Composition

Each 5 mL of pediatric syrup contains:

• Ibuprofen – 100 mg

The syrup also contains inactive ingredients (excipients) that improve taste, stability, and formulation.

Mechanism of Action

buprofen in Pedifen pediatric syrup blocks cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. Normally, these enzymes produce prostaglandins that cause pain, inflammation, and fever.

However, when ibuprofen blocks these enzymes, prostaglandin production decreases. As a result, pain and swelling become less severe.

Therefore, Pedifen pediatric syrup helps relieve pain and fever effectively in children.
