Drug Overview

GOODSENSE® Children's Ibuprofen is an oral suspension designed for children aged 2 to 11 years. It contains 100 mg of ibuprofen (a type of medication that belongs to a class called NSAIDs, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) per 5 mL and is used to relieve minor aches and pains associated with common conditions like the cold, flu, sore throat, headache, and toothache. Additionally, it helps reduce fever and provides relief that can last up to 8 hours.

This alcohol-free medication comes in a pleasant berry flavor and is available in a 4 FL OZ (120 mL) bottle. It is comparable to the active ingredient found in Children’s Motrin®, making it a trusted option for parents seeking effective pain and fever relief for their children.

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 know that it doesn't come with specific directions or warnings for adults. 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 find the right dose by referring to the dosing chart provided. If possible, use your child's weight to determine the dose; if not, you can use their age instead.

Make sure to use only the enclosed dosing cup, as other devices may not provide accurate measurements. If necessary, you can repeat the dose every 6 to 8 hours, but do not use it more than four times in a single day. After each use, wash the dosing cup to keep it clean, and remember to replace the original bottle cap to ensure it remains child-resistant. If your child weighs under 24 pounds (or is under 2 years old), consult a doctor for guidance on the appropriate dosage.

What to Avoid

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

Always prioritize your child's safety by following these guidelines closely. If you have any concerns or questions about using this medication, consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Side Effects

You should be aware of some potential side effects when using this medication. There is a risk of severe allergic reactions, especially if you or your child are allergic to aspirin. Symptoms can include hives, facial swelling, wheezing, shock, skin reddening, rash, and blisters. Additionally, severe stomach bleeding is a concern, particularly if there is a history of stomach ulcers or if other medications that thin the blood or contain NSAIDs (like aspirin or ibuprofen) are being taken.

There is also an increased risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke, which can be serious or even fatal, especially if the medication is used more than directed. If you notice any signs of stomach bleeding, such as faintness, vomiting blood, or black stools, or symptoms of heart problems like chest pain or trouble breathing, seek medical attention immediately. It's important to consult a doctor if your child has a severe sore throat with high fever or if symptoms worsen or persist beyond a few days. Always talk to a healthcare professional before use if there are any underlying health issues or if your child is taking other medications.

Warnings and Precautions

Ibuprofen can cause serious allergic reactions, especially if you are allergic to aspirin. Symptoms may include hives, facial swelling, wheezing, shock, skin reddening, rash, or blisters. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using ibuprofen and seek medical help immediately.

This medication can also lead to severe stomach bleeding, particularly if you have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding problems, are taking blood thinners or steroids, or are using other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like aspirin or naproxen. Additionally, using ibuprofen for longer than directed increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, which can be fatal. If you notice signs of stomach bleeding, such as feeling faint, vomiting blood, or having black stools, or if you experience chest pain, trouble breathing, or weakness, stop using ibuprofen and contact your doctor right away.

For children, do not use ibuprofen for more than two days without consulting a doctor, especially if they have a severe sore throat with high fever, headache, nausea, or vomiting. If your child does not feel better within 24 hours, or if their fever or pain worsens or lasts more than three days, seek medical advice. In case of an overdose, get emergency medical help or contact a Poison Control Center immediately at 1-800-222-1222.

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, ibuprofen is not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, as it may pose risks to your developing baby. These risks can include potential heart problems and kidney issues for the fetus.

Before taking ibuprofen or any medication, you should always consult your healthcare provider. They can help you understand the safest options for managing pain or inflammation during your pregnancy.

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 nursing, 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

It's important to be cautious when giving this medication to children. You should not use it in children under 3 years of age unless a doctor specifically advises you to do so. For children aged 2 to 11 years, the dosage depends on their weight. For example, if your child weighs under 24 pounds, you should consult a doctor before administering any dose.

Here’s a quick guide for dosing based on weight: for children weighing 24-35 pounds (ages 2-3), give 5 mL; for 36-47 pounds (ages 4-5), give 7.5 mL; for 48-59 pounds (ages 6-8), give 10 mL; for 60-71 pounds (ages 9-10), give 12.5 mL; and for 72-95 pounds (age 11), give 15 mL. Always use the enclosed dosing cup to measure the medication, and if necessary, you can repeat the dose every 6-8 hours, but do not exceed 4 doses in a day.

Geriatric Use

When considering this medication for older adults, it's important to note that the product does not provide specific directions or complete warnings for adult use. This means that if you or a loved one is an older adult, you should consult with a healthcare professional to ensure safe and appropriate use.

Always discuss any existing health conditions or medications with your doctor, as they can help determine the best approach tailored to your needs. Your safety and well-being are the top priority, so don't hesitate to ask questions or seek clarification about how this medication may affect you.

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 will help determine if this medication is safe for you and may suggest specific guidelines or adjustments based on your kidney health. Always prioritize open communication with your healthcare provider to ensure your safety and well-being.

Hepatic Impairment

If you have liver problems, such as liver cirrhosis (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 (blood tests that check how well your liver is working). This is crucial to ensure that the medication is safe and effective for you.

Additionally, if you have other health conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, or kidney disease, these factors can 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 potential interactions when taking medications. For instance, if you or your child are allergic to aspirin, taking ibuprofen could lead to a severe allergic reaction. Additionally, if your child is on blood thinners (medications that prevent blood clots) or steroids, the risk of stomach bleeding increases. This risk is also heightened if they are taking other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen.

Moreover, using NSAIDs, except for aspirin, can raise the chances of serious heart issues, including heart attack, heart failure, and stroke. Always discuss any medications or tests with your healthcare provider to ensure safety and avoid harmful interactions. Your health and well-being are paramount, so open communication with your doctor is essential.

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, make sure to do so with clean hands and in a safe environment to maintain its integrity. Always follow any additional safety instructions provided with the product for optimal use.

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 4 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.

In the event of an allergic reaction, it is imperative to discontinue use immediately and seek medical assistance.

The use of ibuprofen, an NSAID, carries a significant risk of severe stomach bleeding. This risk is notably elevated in pediatric patients with a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding disorders, those concurrently taking anticoagulants or steroid medications, and individuals using other NSAIDs, whether prescription or over-the-counter (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen). Additionally, exceeding the recommended dosage or duration of treatment increases the likelihood of gastrointestinal complications.

Healthcare professionals should be aware that the use of NSAIDs, excluding aspirin, is associated with an increased risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk is amplified when the medication is used in excess of the recommended dosage or for prolonged periods.

In cases of severe or persistent sore throat, particularly when accompanied by high fever, headache, nausea, or vomiting, immediate medical consultation is advised. Ibuprofen should not be administered for more than two days, nor should it be given to children under three years of age unless specifically directed by a physician.

Healthcare providers should instruct caregivers to discontinue ibuprofen and seek medical advice 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, symptoms suggestive of heart problems or stroke, including chest pain, difficulty breathing, unilateral weakness, slurred speech, or leg swelling, warrant immediate medical evaluation. 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, or if redness or swelling occurs in the affected area, medical consultation is necessary. Any emergence of new symptoms should also prompt a discussion with a healthcare provider.

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

Side Effects

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

There is a warning regarding the potential for severe stomach bleeding, which may occur more frequently in children with a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding problems, those taking anticoagulants or steroid medications, or those using other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. The risk of stomach bleeding is also heightened if the medication is taken in excess or for an extended duration beyond the recommended guidelines.

Patients may experience an increased risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk is particularly pronounced when the medication is used in higher doses or for longer periods than directed.

Severe or persistent sore throat, especially when accompanied by high fever, headache, nausea, and vomiting, may indicate a serious condition. It is advised to consult a healthcare professional promptly in such cases. The medication should not be used for more than two days or administered to children under three years of age unless directed by a physician.

Patients should discontinue use and seek medical advice if any signs of stomach bleeding occur, such as feeling faint, vomiting blood, having bloody or black stools, or experiencing stomach pain that does not improve. Additionally, symptoms indicative of heart problems or stroke, including chest pain, difficulty breathing, weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, or leg swelling, warrant immediate medical attention. If relief is not achieved within the first 24 hours of treatment, or if fever or pain worsens or persists beyond three days, or if redness or swelling appears in the affected area, patients should consult a healthcare provider. The emergence of any new symptoms should also prompt a medical consultation.

Before using this medication, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional if the child has a history of stomach issues, such as heartburn, or has experienced serious side effects from pain relievers or fever reducers. Caution is also recommended for children who have not been adequately hydrated, have lost significant fluids due to vomiting or diarrhea, or have pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, or a history of stroke. Children with asthma or those taking diuretics should also seek medical advice prior to use.

Furthermore, it is important to consult a doctor or pharmacist if the child is under medical care for any serious condition or is taking any other medications.

Drug Interactions

Ibuprofen has the potential to induce severe allergic reactions, particularly in individuals with a known allergy to aspirin.

When considering the concomitant use of ibuprofen with anticoagulants or steroid medications, it is important to note that there is an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. This risk is further heightened in pediatric patients who are also taking other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including both prescription and nonprescription options such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen.

Additionally, the use of NSAIDs, excluding aspirin, is associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attack, heart failure, and stroke.

Geriatric Use

Elderly patients may not receive comprehensive directions or warnings regarding the use of this product. Therefore, healthcare providers should exercise caution when prescribing this product to geriatric patients. It is essential to consider the unique physiological changes and potential comorbidities that may affect the safety and efficacy of the treatment in this population.

Healthcare providers are advised to closely monitor elderly patients for any adverse effects and to adjust dosages as necessary, taking into account the individual patient's health status and response to therapy.

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 adverse fetal outcomes, including potential cardiovascular effects and renal impairment.

Pregnant women are advised to consult a healthcare provider before using ibuprofen to discuss the potential risks and benefits. It is essential for healthcare professionals to consider these factors when prescribing medications to pregnant patients.

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. Additionally, patients with a history of significant liver disease, such as cirrhosis, should be evaluated for any contraindications related to their hepatic condition.

Healthcare providers should consider the overall health status of patients, including any coexisting conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease, or a history of stroke, as these may further complicate the management of therapy in the context of hepatic impairment. Regular follow-up and reassessment of liver function are advised to ensure patient safety and therapeutic efficacy.

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. It is essential for healthcare providers to assess the patient's condition thoroughly and initiate appropriate management procedures based on the clinical presentation and the specific agent involved in the overdose.

Monitoring and supportive care may be necessary, and healthcare professionals should be prepared to implement standard protocols for overdose management, which may include decontamination, symptomatic treatment, and, if indicated, the use of antidotes.

These events have been documented in the context of postmarketing surveillance and are included for informational purposes.

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 patient experiences stomach upset.

Providers should encourage patients to consult a doctor before use if the child has a history of stomach problems, such as heartburn, or if there is a concern regarding stomach bleeding. Additionally, it is important to ask a doctor before use if the child has experienced serious side effects from pain relievers or fever reducers, has not been drinking fluids, or has lost a significant amount of fluid due to vomiting or diarrhea.

Patients should also be advised to consult a doctor before use if the child has high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, or has had a stroke. If the child has asthma or is taking a diuretic, a discussion with a healthcare provider is essential prior to use.

Furthermore, healthcare providers should recommend that patients consult a doctor or pharmacist before use if the child is under medical care for any serious condition or is taking any other medications. This ensures safe and effective use of the medication while minimizing potential risks.
