How to use IBUPAN PLUS SYRUP
- Adults:
Typically, 10-20 ml (containing 200-400 mg Ibuprofen and 325-500 mg Paracetamol) every 4-6 hours as needed, not exceeding 60 ml in 24 hours. Dosage should be strictly as per physician's advice. Take with food or milk to minimize stomach upset.
- Children:
Dosage is weight-dependent and must be precisely calculated by a pediatrician. Generally, 5-10 mg/kg of Ibuprofen and 10-15 mg/kg of Paracetamol per dose, every 6-8 hours. Do not exceed 4 doses in 24 hours. Use the measuring cup provided. Always consult a doctor before administering to children.
- Elderly:
Elderly patients may require lower doses due to potential reduced kidney or liver function. Close monitoring for side effects is recommended. Always consult a doctor for specific dosage adjustments and to assess suitability, especially if co-morbidities exist.
- Missed Dose:
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up. Consult your doctor if unsure.
How IBUPAN PLUS SYRUP works
IBUPAN PLUS SYRUP works through the synergistic action of its two active ingredients: Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. Ibuprofen primarily functions by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical mediators responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. It achieves this by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) in the body, thereby reducing inflammatory responses and alleviating pain. Paracetamol, on the other hand, acts predominantly on the central nervous system. While its exact mechanism is not fully understood, it is believed to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in the brain and spinal cord, leading to its analgesic (pain-relieving) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects. Unlike NSAIDs, Paracetamol has minimal anti-inflammatory action. The combination of these two drugs provides a potent and rapid relief from both pain and fever, addressing multiple symptoms simultaneously for enhanced patient comfort.
Precautions
- Do not exceed the recommended dose, as it can lead to serious side effects, especially liver damage with Paracetamol.
- Inform your doctor if you have a history of asthma, allergies, stomach ulcers, or bleeding disorders.
- Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver disease, heart conditions, or high blood pressure.
- Avoid concomitant use with other NSAIDs or Paracetamol-containing products to prevent overdose.
- Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
- Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you develop any signs of an allergic reaction or severe skin reactions.
Safety Advice
Alcohol
CAUTIONConsumption of alcohol while taking IBUPAN PLUS SYRUP can increase the risk of liver damage, particularly due to the Paracetamol component. It may also enhance stomach irritation caused by Ibuprofen. It is advisable to avoid or limit alcohol intake.
Pregnancy
CONSULT YOUR DOCTORIBUPAN PLUS SYRUP should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. Ibuprofen, especially in the third trimester, can harm the unborn baby. Always discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider.
Breastfeeding
CONSULT YOUR DOCTORBoth Ibuprofen and Paracetamol pass into breast milk in small amounts. While generally considered safe for short-term use, it is best to consult your doctor before using IBUPAN PLUS SYRUP if you are breastfeeding to ensure infant safety.
Driving
CAUTIONIBUPAN PLUS SYRUP may cause dizziness or drowsiness in some individuals. If you experience these symptoms, it is advisable to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Exercise caution.
Kidney
CAUTIONPatients with pre-existing kidney conditions should use IBUPAN PLUS SYRUP with caution. Ibuprofen can affect kidney function, and Paracetamol in high doses can also be detrimental. Regular monitoring of kidney function may be required. Consult your doctor for dose adjustments.
Liver
CAUTIONIndividuals with liver disease should use IBUPAN PLUS SYRUP cautiously. Paracetamol overdose is a major cause of liver damage, and Ibuprofen can also affect liver function. A doctor's consultation is essential for appropriate dosing and monitoring in such cases.
