hi guys,
interesting subject hey?
the pharmacist I used to work for refused to stock baby nurofen or childrens, he thinks its an absolute abomination that it is available at all, like one lady said the gastro intestinal probs are a real problem, esp as parents then give them more doses as they are in pain! causing even more internal gastric lining problems, like bleeding and ulceration.eek!
I am also in doubt about its use in fever for children as ibuprofen was developed as a synthetic aspirin, the use of aspirin in fevers of children was ruled out as an option in the 70s, due to rhys syndrome (inflammation of the brain) hmmm. but thats just my opinion.
I have also spoken to doctors that would never reccomend the use of it.
anyway, ibuprofen and paracetamol are from two diff families of drugs and there is no interaction if taken together, but that said, a child shouldnt really be in that much pain.
hth.
