Dosage and dosage schedules

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

The interval between doses is at least 4 hours.

For children under 12 years of age, tablets containing 200 mg of ibuprofen are used, and for children under 6 years of age, 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 case of fever or if the symptoms of the disease worsen, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
If adolescents (12-18 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.
