Calprofen Ibuprofen Suspension 200ml offers fast, effective relief from pain, inflammation, and fever in children. Its strawberry-flavoured formula makes it easy to take while soothing discomfort from teething, colds, and minor aches.
Calprofen Ibuprofen Suspension is a gentle yet effective pain relief and fever-reducing medicine formulated specifically for babies and children.
Each dose contains ibuprofen, a trusted non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that:
Reduces fever (including post-immunisation fever)
Relieves mild to moderate pain, such as:
Teething or toothache
Sore throat or earache
Cold and flu symptoms
Headache or backache
Muscular pain and sprains
It begins working within 15 minutes and provides up to 8 hours of comfort, helping your child rest, recover, and feel like themselves again.
The ibuprofen in Calprofen reduces pain, inflammation, and fever by blocking prostaglandins – chemicals in the body responsible for causing pain and high temperature.
As an NSAID, it targets discomfort at its source, easing symptoms of both pain and fever simultaneously.
Calprofen is also sugar-free and colour-free, making it suitable for most children, even those with dietary sensitivities.
Starts to work within 15 minutes
Up to 8 hours of relief from fever and pain
Includes a child-friendly dosing syringe
Sugar-free, dye-free, and gentle on young stomachs
