Nurofen Strawberry Suspension provides fast-acting relief for children’s pain and fever. It is well-tolerated and has a pleasant strawberry flavor, making it easier for children to take. Always consult a healthcare professional before giving any medication to children.

Pharmacological Effects: Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. By blocking the action of these chemicals, ibuprofen helps reduce pain, fever, and swelling.

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have shown that Nurofen Strawberry Suspension is as effective as other ibuprofen formulations in providing relief from pain and fever in children. A randomized controlled trial published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology demonstrated the rapid onset of action of ibuprofen in pediatric patients.
