Dosage and dosage schedules

Adults and children over 12 years of age: dosage is in the range of 6-12 tablets (1.2-2.4 g) per day (usually 1.2-1.8 g, or 6-9 tablets per day), with a dose of 12 tablets (2.4 g) per day not to be exceeded. For some patients, a maintenance dose of 3-6 tablets (0.6-1.2 g) is sufficient.
Higher doses are given for inflammatory forms; rheumatoid arthritis requires higher dosing than osteoarthritis.
For dysmenorrhea, 2 tablets (400 mg) are given every 4-6 hours.
As an analgesic-antipyretic, it is administered 3-4 times a day in doses of 1-2 tablets (200-400 mg).

Children aged 6-12 years: the daily dose is 20-35 mg/kg body weight divided in several sub-doses. In juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, 40-50 mg/kg bw/day. In children with a body weight of up to 30 kg, it is not recommended to exceed a dose of 2 tablets (400 mg) per day. Once a satisfactory response is achieved, a dose reduction is appropriate to further ensure control of the activity of the process.

The interval between doses is at least 4 hours.

For children under 6 years of age, a medicine containing ibuprofen in the form of a suspension is prescribed.

In adults, if it is necessary to administer this medicine for more than 3 days in the case of fever or 5 days in the case of pain, or if the symptoms of the disease worsen, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
If children and adolescents (6-18 years) need to take this medicine for more than 3 days or if the symptoms of the disease worsen, a doctor should be consulted.

Adverse effects can be minimised by administering the lowest effective dose for the shortest time necessary to control symptoms.
