Ibuprofen suspension: pediatric antipyretic. 1996

R E Simon

Pediatric ibuprofen suspension has been available by prescription for relief of fever in children age 6 months and older since 1989. A review of several studies shows this drug to be a safe and effective antipyretic in children as young as 3 months of age. Doses of 10 mg/kg have been demonstrated to provide more rapid antipyresis of longer duration than the same dose of acetaminophen, especially in the presence of high fever (> or = 101.9 degrees F). These factors prompted manufacturers to seek approval for sale of this drug without prescription.
