Galpharm Ibuprofen Suspension contains maltitol. If you have been told by a doctor that your children have an intolerance to fructose, contact their doctor before taking this medicine.

Maltitol may have a mild laxative effect. Calorific value 2.3kcal/g maltitol.

Do not give Ibuprofen for Children to your child if:

-They have ever had a reaction after taking ibuprofen, aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medicines, or to any of the other ingredients.
-They weigh less than 5kg or are under 3 months of age.

-They have (or have had two or more episodes of) a stomach ulcer, perforation or bleeding.

-They have inherited problems coping with fructose/fruit sugar (hereditary fructise intolerance). This is because the body can make some fructose from the ingredient maltitol.

Ibuprofen is generally well-tolerated and most people do not experience any side effects. The most common side effects are related to stomach irritation and include abdominal pain, indigestion and nausea. These can mainly be avoided by taking the ibuprofen with food. Rarely, serious side effects such as ulceration or bleeding of the stomach or intestines may occur. These are more likely with high doses and in elderly people. If your child experiences any sign of bleeding from the stomach or bowels after taking this medicine, such as vomiting blood and/or passing black/tarry/bloodstained stools, you should consult your doctor straight away.

Very rarely, NSAIDS may cause serious blistering or peeling skin reactions (eg Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, exfoliative dermatitis). For this reason, you should stop using this medicine and consult your doctor if your child gets a skin rash or sores inside the mouth after taking this medicine.

If your child's symptoms persist despite giving Ibuprofen for children, get medical advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
