Drug Overview

GOODSENSE® is a children's ibuprofen oral suspension that contains 100 mg of ibuprofen per 5 mL. It is designed for children aged 2 to 11 years and serves as a pain reliever and fever reducer. This medication can help alleviate minor aches and pains associated with common conditions like the cold, flu, sore throat, headache, and toothache, while also effectively reducing fever.

The effects of GOODSENSE® can last up to 8 hours, and it comes in a pleasant grape flavor, making it easier for children to take. Importantly, it is alcohol-free, ensuring a safer option for young users.

Uses

You can use this medication to help relieve minor aches and pains caused by common conditions like the cold, flu, sore throat, headache, and toothache. It’s also effective in reducing fever, making it a helpful option when you're feeling unwell.

Rest assured, this medication does not have any teratogenic effects, meaning it does not cause developmental issues in a fetus if taken during pregnancy.

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 exceed the amount directed. To prepare the medication, shake the bottle well before each use. You should use the enclosed dosing cup to measure your dose accurately; avoid using any other measuring devices.

To find the right dose, refer to the dosing chart based on weight. If you can, use your child's weight for the most accurate dosing; otherwise, you can use their age. For children weighing under 24 pounds (under 2 years), consult a doctor for guidance. For those weighing between 24 and 35 pounds (2-3 years), the dose is 5 mL. As the weight increases, so does the dose: 7.5 mL for 36-47 pounds (4-5 years), 10 mL for 48-59 pounds (6-8 years), 12.5 mL for 60-71 pounds (9-10 years), and 15 mL for 72-95 pounds (11 years). If needed, you can repeat the dose every 6 to 8 hours, but do not use it more than four times a day. After each use, wash the dosing cup and remember to replace the original bottle cap to keep it child-resistant.

What to Avoid

You should avoid using this medication if your child has ever had an allergic reaction to any other pain reliever or fever reducer. Additionally, it is important not to use this medication right before or after your child has undergone heart surgery. Following these guidelines will help ensure your child's safety and well-being.

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. This risk is heightened if the medication is used in higher doses or for longer than recommended. If your child experiences symptoms such as faintness, vomiting blood, or severe stomach pain, or if they show signs of heart problems like chest pain or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. Always consult a doctor if your child has a history of stomach issues, is dehydrated, or is taking other medications.

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 high fever, headache, nausea, or vomiting, consult a doctor right away.

You should seek emergency medical help if there is an overdose or if your child shows signs of stomach bleeding, such as feeling faint, vomiting blood, or having black stools. Also, contact a 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

The safety of ibuprofen during pregnancy has not been established, and it is particularly contraindicated (not recommended) during the third trimester. Using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen while pregnant may pose risks to your fetus, including potential cardiovascular effects.

If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider before using ibuprofen or any medication. They can help you understand the risks and explore safer alternatives for managing pain or inflammation during this important time.

Lactation Use

If you are breastfeeding and considering using this product, it's important to consult your doctor first. There is a possibility that the medication can pass into your breast milk, and the effects on your nursing infant have not been thoroughly studied. Because of this uncertainty, it's wise to be cautious.

If you do take ibuprofen while breastfeeding, keep an eye on your baby for any unusual reactions or side effects. Monitoring your infant can help ensure their safety while you manage your own health needs.

Pediatric Use

When considering this medication for your child aged 2 to 11 years, it's important to follow the dosing guidelines based on their weight and age. For example, children weighing under 24 pounds and those under 2 years should have their dosage determined by a doctor. For children aged 2-3 years weighing between 24-35 pounds, the recommended dose is 5 mL, while those aged 4-5 years and weighing 36-47 pounds should receive 7.5 mL. As the weight increases, so does the dosage, reaching up to 15 mL for an 11-year-old weighing 72-95 pounds.

Please remember not to use this medication for more than 2 days or give it to children under 3 years without a doctor's guidance. Always keep the medication out of reach of children. If your child experiences any concerning symptoms, such as worsening fever or pain, or if they do not find relief within 24 hours, consult a doctor. In case of an overdose, seek immediate medical help or contact a Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. Always check with a doctor if your child is under care for a serious condition or taking other medications before using this product. If stomach upset occurs, giving the medication with food or milk may help.

Geriatric Use

While the information provided for Good Sense Ibuprofen Children's Oral Suspension primarily focuses on children, there are no specific guidelines or dosage adjustments mentioned for older adults. This means that, based on the available data, there are no unique safety concerns or considerations for elderly patients regarding this medication.

However, it's always important for you or your caregiver to consult with a healthcare professional before using any medication, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. Your doctor can provide personalized advice to ensure safe and effective use.

Renal Impairment

If you have kidney problems, it's important to consult your doctor before using this medication. This is especially crucial if you also have high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis (a severe liver condition), or if you've had a stroke. Your doctor can help determine if this medication is safe for you and whether any adjustments to your dosage or monitoring are necessary. Always prioritize your health and communicate openly with your healthcare provider about your medical history.

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 the treatment.

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

Drug Interactions

It's important to be aware that ibuprofen can cause serious allergic reactions, particularly in individuals who are allergic to aspirin. Additionally, if your child is taking blood thinners (medications that help prevent blood clots) or steroids, the risk of stomach bleeding increases. This risk is also heightened if your child is using other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or naproxen.

To ensure your child's safety, always consult with a healthcare provider before starting ibuprofen or any other medication. Discussing all medications your child is taking, including over-the-counter drugs, is crucial to avoid potential interactions and complications.

Storage and Handling

To ensure the safety and effectiveness 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. Before use, check the printed neckband; do not use the product if it is broken or missing, as this could indicate a safety issue.

By following these simple storage and handling guidelines, you can help maintain the quality and reliability of your product.

Additional Information

You should take this medication orally, and if necessary, you can repeat the dose every 6 to 8 hours, but do not exceed four doses in a day. To help prevent stomach upset, consider taking it with food or milk. Always use the enclosed dosing cup for accurate measurement, and make sure to wash it after each use.

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

There are no teratogenic or nonteratogenic effects associated with this drug.

Dosage and Administration

This product is intended for use in pediatric patients, and healthcare professionals should refer to the dosing chart to determine the appropriate dosage based on the patient's weight or age. It is essential to shake the product well before each use. The enclosed dosing cup must be utilized for accurate measurement; no other dosing devices should be employed.

For patients weighing under 24 lbs (under 2 years), consultation with a physician is required prior to administration. For those weighing between 24-35 lbs (2-3 years), the recommended dose is 5 mL. Patients weighing 36-47 lbs (4-5 years) should receive 7.5 mL, while those weighing 48-59 lbs (6-8 years) should be administered 10 mL.

Contraindications

Use is contraindicated in the following situations:

  • In patients with a history of allergic reactions to any other pain reliever or fever reducer, due to the risk of severe allergic reactions.

  • In patients undergoing heart surgery, as use immediately before or after such procedures may pose significant risks.

Warnings and Precautions

Ibuprofen may cause severe allergic reactions, particularly in individuals with a known allergy to aspirin. Symptoms indicative of an allergic reaction can include hives, facial swelling, asthma (wheezing), shock, skin reddening, rash, and blisters. In the event of an allergic reaction, it is imperative to discontinue use immediately and seek medical assistance.

This product contains a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), which is associated with the risk of severe stomach bleeding. The likelihood of this adverse effect is heightened in children who have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding disorders, are concurrently taking anticoagulants or steroid medications, are using other NSAIDs (including aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen), or exceed the recommended dosage or duration of treatment.

Healthcare professionals should be aware that NSAIDs, excluding aspirin, are linked to an increased risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk escalates with the use of higher doses or prolonged treatment beyond the recommended duration.

In cases of severe or persistent sore throat, particularly when accompanied by high fever, headache, nausea, or vomiting, immediate medical consultation is advised. The use of ibuprofen should not exceed two days, and it should not be administered to children under three years of age unless specifically directed by a physician.

In the event of an overdose, it is crucial to obtain emergency medical help or contact a Poison Control Center immediately at 1-800-222-1222.

Healthcare providers should instruct caregivers to discontinue use and consult a physician if the child exhibits any signs of stomach bleeding, such as feeling faint, vomiting blood, passing bloody or black stools, or experiencing persistent stomach pain. Additionally, if symptoms indicative of heart problems or stroke arise—such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, unilateral weakness, slurred speech, or leg swelling—medical attention should be sought without delay.

Furthermore, if the child does not experience relief within the first 24 hours of treatment, if fever or pain worsens or persists beyond three days, if redness or swelling occurs in the affected area, or if any new symptoms develop, it is essential to seek medical advice.

Side Effects

Patients using ibuprofen may experience a range of adverse reactions, some of which can be serious.

Severe allergic reactions have been reported, particularly in individuals with a known allergy to aspirin. Symptoms of such reactions may include hives, facial swelling, asthma (wheezing), shock, skin reddening, rash, and blisters.

The use of ibuprofen, as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), carries a warning for potential severe stomach bleeding. The risk of this adverse reaction is heightened in patients with a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding problems, those taking anticoagulants or steroid medications, and individuals using other NSAIDs, including aspirin and naproxen. Additionally, prolonged use or exceeding the recommended dosage increases the likelihood of stomach bleeding.

Patients should also be aware of the increased risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke associated with NSAID use, excluding aspirin. This risk is particularly pronounced when the medication is used in higher doses or for extended periods.

In clinical settings, severe or persistent sore throat, especially when accompanied by high fever, headache, nausea, and vomiting, has been noted as a serious condition requiring prompt medical consultation. It is advised that ibuprofen not be used for more than two days in such cases or in children under three years of age unless directed by a healthcare provider.

Patients are advised to discontinue use and seek medical attention if they experience signs of stomach bleeding, such as feeling faint, vomiting blood, having bloody or black stools, or persistent stomach pain. Symptoms indicative of heart problems or stroke, including chest pain, difficulty breathing, unilateral weakness, slurred speech, or leg swelling, also warrant immediate medical evaluation. Furthermore, if a patient does not achieve relief within the first 24 hours of treatment, or if fever or pain worsens or persists beyond three days, medical advice should be sought. Redness or swelling in the painful area or the emergence of new symptoms should also prompt consultation with a healthcare professional.

Before using ibuprofen, it is recommended that patients consult a doctor if they have a history of stomach issues, have experienced serious side effects from pain relievers or fever reducers, are dehydrated, or have conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, or a history of stroke. Additionally, patients with asthma or those taking diuretics should seek medical advice prior to use. It is also important for patients under a doctor's care for any serious condition or those taking other medications to consult with a healthcare provider or pharmacist before using ibuprofen.

Drug Interactions

Ibuprofen has the potential to induce severe allergic reactions, particularly in individuals with a known allergy to aspirin. This risk necessitates careful consideration when prescribing ibuprofen to such patients.

In terms of pharmacodynamic interactions, the concomitant use of ibuprofen with anticoagulants or steroid medications significantly increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. This risk is further amplified when ibuprofen is taken alongside other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including both prescription and over-the-counter options such as aspirin and naproxen.

Given these interactions, it is advisable for healthcare providers to closely monitor patients who are prescribed ibuprofen, especially those who are concurrently taking anticoagulants, steroids, or other NSAIDs. Consultation with a physician is recommended if the patient is on any additional medications to ensure safe and effective use of ibuprofen.

Geriatric Use

Elderly patients do not have specific considerations, dosage adjustments, or safety concerns associated with the use of Good Sense Ibuprofen Children's Oral Suspension, as indicated in the prescribing information. The insert primarily addresses pediatric use and lacks relevant data pertaining to geriatric patients. Therefore, healthcare providers should exercise clinical judgment when considering the use of this medication in elderly patients, as no specific guidance is provided. Monitoring for efficacy and safety in this population is advised, given the absence of dedicated studies or recommendations.

Pregnancy

The safety of ibuprofen during pregnancy has not been established. Ibuprofen is contraindicated in pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester, due to potential risks to the fetus. The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen, during pregnancy may be associated with risks such as potential cardiovascular effects on the developing fetus.

Pregnant women are advised to consult a healthcare provider before using ibuprofen to discuss the potential risks and benefits, as well as alternative treatment options that may be safer during pregnancy.

Lactation

Nursing mothers should consult a doctor before using this product. There is a potential for excretion in breast milk, and the effects of ibuprofen on a nursing infant are not well studied; therefore, caution is advised. It is recommended to monitor the infant for any adverse effects if the nursing mother takes ibuprofen.

Renal Impairment

Patients with renal impairment should consult a healthcare professional prior to use, particularly if they have a history of kidney disease. It is essential to assess the patient's overall health status, including any comorbid conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, or a history of stroke, as these factors may influence the management of their renal function and the appropriateness of treatment. Monitoring and potential dosing adjustments may be necessary based on the patient's renal status to ensure safety and efficacy.

Hepatic Impairment

Patients with hepatic impairment may experience altered pharmacokinetics of the medication due to compromised liver function. It is essential to assess the severity of liver impairment before initiating treatment.

In patients with liver cirrhosis, dosage adjustments may be necessary to avoid potential toxicity. Close monitoring of liver function tests is recommended throughout the treatment course to ensure safety and efficacy.

Additionally, patients with a history of significant liver disease, such as cirrhosis, should be evaluated for any contraindications related to their hepatic condition. Regular assessment of clinical parameters and laboratory values is advised to manage any adverse effects that may arise from the medication's use in this population.

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 overdose situations, as symptoms may vary depending on the substance involved. Therefore, a thorough assessment of the patient's condition is essential to determine the appropriate course of action.

Management procedures may include supportive care and symptomatic treatment, tailored to the specific symptoms presented. Continuous monitoring of the patient's vital signs and clinical status is recommended to ensure safety and effectiveness of the treatment provided.

Nonclinical Toxicology

No teratogenic or non-teratogenic effects have been reported in the available nonclinical studies. Additionally, there is no information regarding animal pharmacology and toxicology. The absence of data limits the assessment of potential risks associated with the use of the compound in question.

Postmarketing Experience

Postmarketing experience has identified the following adverse reactions reported voluntarily or through surveillance programs: hives, facial swelling, asthma (wheezing), shock, skin reddening, rash, and blisters. These events have been documented in the context of ongoing safety monitoring.

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.

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 stomach pain that does not improve. Additionally, 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, they should stop use and seek medical advice.

It is important to inform patients that if the child does not experience any relief within the first 24 hours of treatment, or if fever or pain worsens or persists for more than three days, they should consult a healthcare professional. Redness or swelling in the painful area or the appearance of any new symptoms should also prompt a discussion with a doctor.

Patients should be advised to administer the product with food or milk if stomach upset occurs. Furthermore, healthcare providers should recommend that patients consult a doctor before use if any of the following apply: the stomach bleeding warning is relevant to the child, the child has a history of stomach issues such as heartburn, 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, has high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, or a history of stroke, has asthma, or is taking a diuretic.

Lastly, patients should be encouraged to consult a doctor or pharmacist before use if the child is under medical care for any serious condition or is taking any other medications.
