What is Avrofen Ibuprofen Syrup?
Avrofen is a reliable oral ibuprofen suspension specifically formulated for children and infants in Nigeria. Each 5ml dose contains 100mg of ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that provides fast relief by reducing high body temperatures (fever) and soothing mild to moderate pain.
Produced by SKG-Pharma Ltd for Avro Pharma Limited, Avrofen is NAFDAC registered (A4-8335) and trusted by parents across the country for its effectiveness and safety profile.
Key Benefits of Avrofen for Children
Avrofen is an essential part of a Nigerian family's first-aid box for several reasons:
- Fast Fever Relief: Quickly lowers high temperatures caused by infections, colds, or flu.
- Teething and Earaches: Effectively targets the sharp discomfort associated with teething and common childhood ear infections.
- Post-Immunization Comfort: Frequently recommended to manage fever and discomfort following routine vaccinations.
- Child-Friendly Formula: The syrup is raspberry-flavored, making it easier for children to swallow. It is alcohol-free and contains no artificial colors.
Dosage and How to Use
To ensure the best results and safety, follow these guidelines:
- Shake Well: Since it is a suspension, always shake the bottle thoroughly before each use.
- Measure Accurately: Use the measuring cup or syringe provided. Do not use a regular kitchen spoon.
- With Food: It is best administered with or after a meal to reduce the risk of stomach irritation.
- Frequency: Typically given every 6 to 8 hours as needed.
For a specific dosage based on your child's weight or for advice on using it for infants under 3 months, please contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
Precautions
- Do not use if the child has a known allergy to ibuprofen or other NSAIDs.
- Consult your doctor if your child has a history of asthma, heart, or kidney issues.
