About Calprofen
Calprofen is a trusted children's ibuprofen suspension from the makers of Calpol, one of the UK's most recognized children's healthcare brands. This strawberry-flavoured medicine provides effective pain and fever relief for babies and children from 3 months to 12 years old. What distinguishes Calprofen is its child-friendly formulation: sugar-free, colour-free, and in a pleasant strawberry flavour that makes administration easier for parents and more acceptable for children. Each 5ml dose contains 100mg of ibuprofen, providing reliable pain relief that starts working on fever in just 15 minutes and lasts for up to 8 hours. Calprofen is effective for a wide range of common childhood complaints including fever (raised temperature), post-immunisation fever, teething pain, toothache, earache, headache, mild to moderate muscular pain, and cold and flu symptoms. It's also useful for minor injuries such as sprains and strains. Each Calprofen pack includes an easy-dose syringe, minimizing mess and making it simple to measure accurate doses. The medicine is available without prescription, though pharmacists may ask health-related questions as part of responsible dispensing. Important usage guidelines: Calprofen is not suitable for babies under 3 months or infants weighing less than 5kg. Doses should be given every 6-8 hours (minimum 4 hours between doses). For babies aged 3-5 months, do not use for more than 24 hours. For children 6 months and older, do not use for more than 3 days without medical advice. Available at UK supermarkets including Asda, Ocado, and pharmacies nationwide, Calprofen is a medicine cabinet essential for families with young children.
