Do not use this product with other medicines containing ibuprofen or other NSAIDs to reduce the risk of adverse effects.
Take special care and consult a healthcare professional before use if the child has a history of asthma, liver or kidney disease, heart problems, bleeding disorders or sensitivity to NSAIDs.
NSAIDs such as ibuprofen may mask signs of infection; if symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice.
Avoid use during varicella (chickenpox) where possible, as complications may be associated with NSAID use.
