Blocks the activity of cyclooxygenase, the enzyme needed for
prostaglandin synthesis. Prostaglandin synthesis is an important
mediator in the inflammatory response, which causes local
vasodilation with swelling and pain. With the blocking of
cyclooxygenase, inflammatory symptoms subside.
Adults and children older than 12 y/o age may
take nonprescription ibuprofen every 4 to 6
hours as needed for pain or fever. Children and
infants may be given nonprescription ibuprofen
every 6 to 8 hours as needed for pain or fever,
but should not be given more than 4 doses in 24
hours. Ibuprofen may be taken with food or milk
to prevent stomach upset. Take ibuprofen
exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of
it or take it more often than directed by the
package label or prescribed by your doctor.
