The use of Ibunorm baby for medicinal purposes is justified also in cases of flu, and in addition, at a time when the child's teeth are pricked. The drug is a good tool to help reduce the intensity of pain after tooth extraction.

Obviously, indications for the use of Ibunorm bebi occur when it is required to reduce the child's high temperature, which appears due to catarrhal diseases, inflammations, etc., and in addition, to reduce the intensity of the pain symptoms that appear in connection with this.
Release form
Form of release Ibunorm baby is a suspension intended for oral ingestion. The suspension is white, it has a specific medical smell, it tastes sweet and sour, without fruit or any kind of candy flavor. It is offered in a vial of plastic, the volume of which can be 50 or 100 ml. In the cardboard packaging box, along with the vial of the drug and instructions for use, there is a dispensing device. It has the form of a special syringe, on which the measuring scale is applied. Since the suspension has a sufficiently thick consistency, the use of such a syringe provides convenience in obtaining the required dose of the drug and achieving great accuracy in the required amount of the drug for a single admission by the child inside.
Proceeding from the fact that this drug is intended for children, this form of release of the drug in the form of a suspension is optimal, since it makes its application very simple and accessible for everyone. And due to the fact that the taste of Ibunorm bebi can be attractive enough for children, this is a positive factor in terms of the fact that the child is unlikely to resist and persist in refusing to take such a medicine.
Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacodynamics Ibunorm baby is manifested primarily in the fact that its main component ibuprofen, which is a preparation of a non-steroidal group of anti-inflammatory effects, produces an analgesic effect and contributes to the normalization of body temperature. This is achieved due to the fact that there is an indiscriminate blockade of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) in both its forms.
The action of Ibunorm baby is also that it acts as an inhibitor for the processes in which Pg-prostaglandins are synthesized. As a result of the effect of the drug, the activity of the main metabolic enzyme arachidonic acid responsible for inflammatory and painful pathogenesis decreases, as well as for the appearance of fever.
The analgesic properties of this drug are activated by suppressing the production of prostaglandins, both at the periphery and inhibition of their synthesis in the central and peripheral nervous system. The effect of anelgizing is most pronounced when inflammatory genital pain occurs.
Thus, the pharmacodynamics of Ibunorm baby has its own complex effects on the body, consisting on the one hand in helping to minimize the activity of the mechanisms of inflammation, and on the other - in reducing the intensity of pain symptoms arising in this regard.
Pharmacokinetics
What happens with the drug after its intake and entry into the body, and what is the pharmacokinetics Ibunorm baby, consider below.
This drug is characterized by the property of good absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, which is almost completely realized. If you take Ibunorm baby at the same time as eating, there is a tendency to a slight slowdown in the rate of absorption. When the medicine is taken on an empty stomach, this causes TCmax 45 minutes, taking it after meals increases this time to one and a half to two and a half hours. In the synovial fluid, where a greater concentration is formed than in the blood plasma - from 2 to 3 hours.
The main component of the drug - ibuprofen - binds to plasma proteins 90%.
After the absorption, the R form of the pharmacologically inactive ibuprofen in about 60 percent is converted to the active S-form.
In the liver, the systemic and post-systemic metabolism occurs with the participation of the CYP2C9 enzyme. Elimination is characterized by two-phase kinetics, T1 / 2 2-2.5 h, with some retard forms it takes up to 12 hours.
After 90% metabolism in the liver (T 1/2 is equal to 2-3 hours), it is exposed in the urine. In it, 70% has the form of metabolites and 10% leaves the body in an unchanged state. A 20-percent quantity is excreted through the intestines as metabolites.
Dosing and administration
Ibunorm baby assumes an exclusively oral method of administration and its dose is calculated based on the ratio of the child's age and body weight.
For the main indicator in determining the single dose should be taken from 5 to 10 mg per 1 kg.
The maximum allowable daily dose is 30 mg per kilogram of the child's body weight.
For children under the age of six months, the norm is to take a suspension of 2 and a half milligrams three times a day with an 8-hour break. The maximum possible daily dose should not exceed 7.5 ml, which corresponds to 150 mg.
In the period from six months to 1 year, the child should take 50 mg or 2.5 ml of medication every 6 hours. Within the norm is a dose of not more than 200 mg or 10 ml per day.
A child from one year to three is given 100 mg (5 ml) of suspension with time intervals between doses of 8 hours. Daily dosage should be within 15 ml or 300 mg.
At the age of 4-6 years, the maximum amount of suspension per day increases to 450 mg. Take medication is necessary for 150 mg three times throughout the day.
Children from 7 years to 9 years of age should drink 200 mg (10 ml) of medication three times a day. The maximum total dose, therefore, is 600 mg.
From 10 years before the 12th anniversary, the daily dose of the suspension is 900 mg. This amount should be consumed in three 300 mg doses, respectively.
The dose for postimmunizational fever is 2.5 ml at a time, and then, if necessary, another as much suspension after 6 hours. It should be remembered that the total amount of medication taken should be within 5 ml throughout the day.
The way of administration and doses of Ibunorm baby are determined based on the individual characteristics of the child's body, in particular - the body weight, and in addition, its age, and the nature of the course of the disease should be taken into account. The course of treatment is usually equal to three days, but in some cases it may take longer to apply the drug.

Interactions with other drugs
There are a number of fundamental principles that characterize the interaction of Ibunorm baby with other drugs.
So the expediency of combining within one treatment course and the effects produced by their interaction within the same treatment course, with respect to certain medicines, seems unjustified. First of all it concerns the joint use of Ibunorm baby and acetylsalicylic acid. In addition, recommendations often often do not combine the treatment with ibuprofen with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticosteroid-type drugs. The rationale for this statement may be the likelihood that this may be a risk factor for increasing the likelihood of side effects in the gastrointestinal tract.
An adverse effect can also be caused by the use of anticoagulants, since this can provoke bleeding.
It is necessary to show maximum caution and attention, using together with the drug diuretics - in order to avoid possible negative reactions affecting the kidneys.
It is necessary to weigh everything carefully before sharing with Ibunorm baby, both lithium preparations and methoxate, because there is evidence of an increase in their content in the blood.
Increased nephrotoxicity in turn can provoke and cyclosporamine.
Thus, the course of treatment should be designed taking into account the positive or undesirable consequences that may result from the interaction of Ibunorm baby with other drugs.
Special instructions
The drug belongs to the therapeutic means of the non-steroid group, antirheumatic and anti-inflammatory action.
The effect produced by this suspension in the body is that it acts as an inhibitor for processes in which prostaglandins are produced that are mediators for inflammatory phenomena, fever and pain symptoms.
The effect of the drug is the actualization of its analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, ibuprofen, the main active ingredient that is part of this medication, leads to a decrease in platelet aggregation activity.
When taken orally, ibuprofen tends to be absorbed to the maximum extent for a short time. The greatest concentration in the blood is reached after a period of one to two hours. Ibuprofen is almost completely bound to the proteins contained in the blood plasma, and its presence appears in the synovial fluid. As a result of metabolization of ibuprofen, two inactive metabolites are formed in the liver. The kidneys take them out and in full for a short time. About one-tenth of the volume is exposed unscrewed.
Shelf life
Shelf life of the drug is 3 years.
