Drug Overview

DG® | health is an infants’ ibuprofen oral suspension that contains 50 mg of ibuprofen per 1.25 mL. This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce fever and relieve minor aches and pains associated with common conditions like the cold, flu, sore throat, headaches, and toothaches. It is specifically designed for infants aged 6 to 23 months and can provide relief for up to 8 hours.

The product is available in a berry flavor and is gluten-free, making it a suitable option for many families. It is important to use the enclosed syringe for accurate dosing.

Uses

You can use this medication to help reduce fever and relieve minor aches and pains. It’s effective for discomfort caused by common conditions such as the cold, flu, sore throat, headaches, and toothaches.

This means that if you're feeling under the weather or dealing with everyday aches, this medication can provide some relief to help you feel better.

Dosage and Administration

Before using this product, it's important to note that it does not come with complete directions or warnings for adult use. Always make sure to follow the recommended dosage and never give more than directed. To prepare the medication, shake the bottle well before use. You should measure the dose using the dosing device provided, as using any other device may lead to incorrect dosing.

To find the right dose for your child, refer to the dosing chart based on their weight. If possible, use your child's weight for the most accurate dosage; otherwise, you can use their age. For example, if your child weighs between 12-17 pounds (6-11 months old), the dose is 1.25 mL. If they weigh between 18-23 pounds (12-23 months old), the dose is 1.875 mL. When administering the liquid, dispense it slowly into your child's mouth, aiming for the inner cheek. If necessary, you can repeat the dose every 6 to 8 hours, but do not exceed four doses in a single day.

What to Avoid

It's important to ensure your child’s safety when considering medication. You should not use this medication if your child has ever had an allergic reaction to ibuprofen or any other pain reliever or fever reducer. Additionally, avoid using it right before or after heart surgery, as this can pose serious risks.

Be mindful that this medication is classified as a controlled substance, which means it has the potential for abuse or misuse. Always follow the guidance provided by your healthcare professional to prevent any issues related to dependence (a condition where the body becomes reliant on a substance). If you have any concerns or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to your doctor for more information.

Side Effects

Ibuprofen can cause serious allergic reactions, particularly in individuals who are allergic to aspirin. Signs of an allergic reaction may include hives, facial swelling, wheezing (asthma), shock, skin reddening, rash, or blisters. Additionally, this medication carries a risk of severe stomach bleeding, especially if your child has a history of stomach ulcers, is taking blood thinners or steroids, or uses other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like aspirin or naproxen.

There is also an increased risk of heart attack and stroke associated with NSAIDs, which can be life-threatening, particularly if used in higher doses or for extended periods. If your child experiences symptoms such as faintness, vomiting blood, black or bloody stools, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. It's important to consult a doctor if your child has a history of stomach issues, is dehydrated, or has other serious health conditions before using ibuprofen.

Warnings and Precautions

Ibuprofen can cause serious allergic reactions, especially in those who are allergic to aspirin. If you notice symptoms like hives, facial swelling, wheezing, or any skin rash, stop using the medication immediately and seek medical help. Additionally, be aware that ibuprofen can lead to severe stomach bleeding, particularly if your child has a history of stomach ulcers, is taking blood thinners or steroids, or is using other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like aspirin or naproxen.

There is also an increased risk of heart attack and stroke associated with NSAIDs, especially if used in higher doses or for longer than recommended. If your child has a severe sore throat that lasts more than two days or is accompanied by a high fever, headache, nausea, or vomiting, consult a doctor right away.

You should seek emergency medical help in case of an overdose or if your child shows signs of stomach bleeding, such as feeling faint, vomiting blood, or having black stools. Also, contact your doctor if your child experiences chest pain, trouble breathing, weakness on one side of the body, or if symptoms worsen or do not improve within 24 hours.

Overdose

If you suspect an overdose, it’s crucial to seek medical help immediately. You can contact a Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 for guidance. Signs of an overdose can vary, but they may include unusual drowsiness, confusion, or difficulty breathing.

Always err on the side of caution—if you notice any concerning symptoms or if you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to get help right away. Your health and safety are the top priority.

Pregnancy Use

If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it's important to know that the safety of ibuprofen has not been established. In fact, using ibuprofen during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, is not recommended because it can potentially harm the fetus. Risks may include cardiovascular issues and kidney problems for the baby.

Before taking ibuprofen, you should consult your healthcare provider, as they may suggest dosage adjustments or alternative treatments. It's best to avoid using ibuprofen unless your doctor specifically advises it. Always prioritize your health and the health of your baby by seeking professional guidance.

Lactation Use

When it comes to breastfeeding, it's important to be aware that there are no specific guidelines or statements regarding nursing mothers or lactation (the process of producing milk). This means that if you are breastfeeding, you may not find detailed information about how certain medications or treatments could affect you or your baby.

If you have concerns about breastfeeding while taking any medication, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and to ensure the safety of both you and your infant.

Pediatric Use

It's important to be cautious when using this medication for children. You should not give it to children under 3 years of age unless a doctor specifically advises you to do so. For children aged 6 to 23 months, the dosage depends on their weight. For example, if your child weighs between 12-17 pounds, the recommended dose is 1.25 mL, and for those weighing 18-23 pounds, it's 1.875 mL. Always consult a doctor before using this medication for children under 6 months.

Make sure to monitor your child closely. If they have not been drinking fluids or have lost a lot of fluids due to vomiting or diarrhea, contact a doctor. Additionally, if your child shows any signs of stomach bleeding—like feeling faint, vomiting blood, or having black or bloody stools—stop using the medication and seek medical advice immediately. If your child has a history of stomach issues or asthma, it's best to consult a doctor before use. Lastly, if your child does not feel better within 24 hours, reach out to a healthcare professional.

Geriatric Use

When it comes to using Ibuprofen suspension, there is no specific information available about how it should be used by older adults. This means that there are no particular age-related guidelines, dosage adjustments, or safety concerns outlined for elderly patients.

If you are caring for an older adult who may need this medication, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice and ensure that the medication is safe and appropriate for their specific health needs. Always prioritize open communication with healthcare providers to address any concerns regarding medication use in older individuals.

Renal Impairment

If you have kidney problems, it's important to be aware of how this may affect your health and any medications you take. Conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, or a history of stroke can complicate your situation. Make sure to discuss your kidney health with your healthcare provider, as they may need to adjust your medication dosages or monitor you more closely to ensure your safety and well-being.

Always keep your doctor informed about any changes in your health, especially if you experience symptoms related to your kidneys or other underlying conditions. Regular check-ups and open communication are key to managing your health effectively.

Hepatic Impairment

If you have liver problems, such as liver cirrhosis (a severe scarring of the liver), it's important to be aware of how this may affect your treatment. Your healthcare provider may need to adjust your medication dosage or closely monitor your liver function tests (tests that check how well your liver is working) to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of your treatment.

Additionally, if you have other health conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, or kidney disease, these may also influence your treatment plan. Always communicate openly with your healthcare team about your liver health and any other medical issues you may have to receive the best care possible.

Drug Interactions

It's important to be aware of how ibuprofen can interact with other medications you may be taking. For instance, if you are using blood thinners (medications that help prevent blood clots) or steroids, taking ibuprofen could increase your risk of stomach bleeding. Additionally, using ibuprofen or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for longer than recommended can raise your chances of serious heart issues, such as heart attack or stroke.

To stay safe, always discuss your current medications with your healthcare provider, especially if you are considering taking ibuprofen or any other NSAIDs. This conversation is crucial to ensure that your treatment plan is effective and minimizes any potential risks.

Storage and Handling

To ensure the best performance of your product, store it at a temperature between 20-25°C (68-77°F). It's important to keep it away from freezing temperatures, as freezing can damage the product.

When handling the product, check the printed neckband before use; do not use it if the neckband is broken or missing, as this could compromise safety. Following these guidelines will help you use the product effectively and safely.

Additional Information

You should take this medication orally, dispensing the liquid slowly into your child's mouth, aiming for the inner cheek. If necessary, you can repeat the dose every 6 to 8 hours, but do not exceed four doses in a day.

It's important to keep this medication out of reach of children. If an overdose occurs, seek medical help immediately or contact a Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.

Patients with asthma or those taking diuretics should also seek medical advice prior to use.

Lastly, it is important for patients under a doctor's care for any serious condition or those taking other medications to consult with a healthcare professional before using ibuprofen.

Drug Interactions

Ibuprofen is associated with several significant drug interactions that warrant careful consideration.

Anticoagulants and Steroids The concomitant use of ibuprofen with anticoagulants or steroid medications may elevate the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is advisable to monitor patients closely for signs of bleeding and consider dosage adjustments or alternative therapies as necessary.

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) Ibuprofen should not be administered alongside other NSAIDs, whether prescription or nonprescription, such as aspirin or naproxen. The use of multiple NSAIDs can increase the risk of adverse effects, including gastrointestinal complications.

Cardiovascular Risks The use of ibuprofen, particularly at doses exceeding recommended levels or for prolonged durations, is associated with an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events, including heart attack, heart failure, and stroke. Clinicians should evaluate the necessity of ibuprofen therapy in patients with existing cardiovascular conditions and consider alternative pain management strategies when appropriate.

Pediatric Use

Pediatric patients under 3 years of age should not use this medication unless directed by a doctor. For children aged 6 to 23 months, dosing is based on weight: for those weighing 12-17 lbs (approximately 6-11 months), the recommended dose is 1.25 mL; for those weighing 18-23 lbs (approximately 12-23 months), the recommended dose is 1.875 mL.

Parents or caregivers should consult a doctor before use in children under 6 months of age. The medication should not be used for more than 2 days, and if a child has not been drinking fluids or has experienced significant fluid loss due to vomiting or diarrhea, medical advice should be sought.

Signs of potential stomach bleeding, such as feeling faint, vomiting blood, or having bloody or black stools, necessitate immediate discontinuation of the medication and consultation with a doctor. Additionally, children with a history of stomach problems, such as heartburn, or those with asthma should seek medical advice prior to use. If there is no relief within the first 24 hours of treatment, a doctor should be consulted.

Geriatric Use

Elderly patients may not have specific recommendations regarding the use of Ibuprofen suspension, as the prescribing information does not provide details on age considerations, dosage adjustments, safety concerns, or special precautions for this population.

Healthcare providers should exercise caution when prescribing Ibuprofen to geriatric patients, considering the potential for altered pharmacokinetics and increased sensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in this age group. It is advisable to monitor elderly patients closely for any adverse effects and to assess the need for dose modifications based on individual patient factors, including renal function and the presence of comorbidities.

Pregnancy

The safety of ibuprofen during pregnancy has not been established. Ibuprofen is contraindicated in pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester, due to the risk of fetal harm. The use of ibuprofen during pregnancy may pose risks to the fetus, including potential cardiovascular issues and renal impairment.

Dosage modifications may be necessary, and it is advised that pregnant patients consult a healthcare provider before using ibuprofen. Special precautions should be taken, and pregnant women should avoid using ibuprofen unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional.

Lactation

There are no specific statements regarding the use of this medication in lactating mothers or its effects on breastfed infants. Healthcare professionals should consider the absence of data when advising lactating mothers about the use of this medication.

Renal Impairment

Patients with renal impairment may require careful consideration regarding dosing adjustments and monitoring. In particular, those with reduced kidney function, such as children with high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, or a history of stroke, should be evaluated for potential impacts on drug clearance. It is essential to assess renal function prior to initiating therapy and to monitor renal parameters regularly throughout treatment to ensure safety and efficacy. Adjustments to dosing regimens may be necessary based on the degree of renal impairment to mitigate the risk of adverse effects.

Hepatic Impairment

Patients with hepatic impairment may experience altered pharmacokinetics of the medication due to compromised liver function. It is essential to assess liver function prior to initiating treatment and to monitor liver parameters throughout the course of therapy.

In patients with liver cirrhosis, dosage adjustments may be necessary to mitigate the risk of adverse effects. Close monitoring of liver function tests, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and bilirubin levels, is recommended to ensure patient safety and therapeutic efficacy.

Additionally, patients with a history of significant liver disease, such as cirrhosis, should be evaluated for potential contraindications and may require more frequent clinical assessments to monitor for any signs of hepatic decompensation. It is crucial to tailor treatment plans based on the severity of hepatic impairment to optimize outcomes while minimizing risks.

Overdosage

In the event of an overdose, it is imperative to seek immediate medical assistance or contact a Poison Control Center without delay. Healthcare professionals should advise patients or caregivers to call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 for guidance.

Prompt intervention is crucial in managing potential overdose situations. Symptoms of overdose may vary depending on the substance involved and the individual’s health status. Therefore, a thorough assessment and monitoring of the patient are essential.

Management procedures may include supportive care and symptomatic treatment, tailored to the specific symptoms presented. It is vital for healthcare providers to remain vigilant and prepared to implement appropriate interventions based on the clinical scenario.

Nonclinical Toxicology

No teratogenic effects have been identified in the available data. Additionally, there is no information regarding non-teratogenic effects. The nonclinical toxicology section does not provide any specific details. Furthermore, there is no information available concerning animal pharmacology and toxicology.

Postmarketing experience has identified several adverse reactions reported voluntarily or through surveillance programs. These include hives, facial swelling, asthma characterized by wheezing, shock, skin reddening, rash, and blisters.

Patient Counseling

Healthcare providers should advise patients to seek immediate medical assistance or contact a Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 in the event of an overdose. It is recommended to administer the medication with food or milk if the child experiences stomach upset.

Patients should be instructed to discontinue use and consult a doctor if the child exhibits any signs of stomach bleeding, which may include feeling faint, vomiting blood, having bloody or black stools, or experiencing persistent stomach pain. Additionally, healthcare providers should inform patients to stop use and seek medical attention if the child shows symptoms indicative of heart problems or stroke, such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, or swelling in the legs.

Patients should be made aware that if the child does not experience relief within the first 24 hours of treatment, or if fever or pain worsens or persists beyond three days, they should consult a doctor. Redness or swelling in the painful area or the appearance of any new symptoms should also prompt a discussion with a healthcare professional.

Before initiating treatment, healthcare providers should encourage patients to consult a doctor if any of the following conditions apply: the child has a history of stomach bleeding, has experienced serious side effects from pain relievers or fever reducers, has not been adequately hydrated, has lost significant fluids due to vomiting or diarrhea, or has pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, or a history of stroke. Additionally, patients should be advised to seek medical advice if the child has asthma or is taking a diuretic.
