Ibugesic 100 mg/5 mL Suspension

Ibugesic 100 mg/5 mL Suspension is an ibuprofen oral suspension used for pain relief and fever reduction. Each 5 mL contains 100 mg of ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is commonly used for short-term relief of mild to moderate pain and inflammation, such as headache, toothache, muscle aches, menstrual pain, and fever. Because it is a liquid suspension, Ibugesic 100 mg/5 mL Suspension can be easier to measure and swallow than tablets.

How it works: Ibuprofen works by blocking the body’s production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain, swelling, and fever. In suspension form, the medicine is already in liquid form for easier swallowing and more precise measuring with a dosing device.

Ibugesic 100 mg/5 mL Suspension is a lower-concentration liquid strength that is often chosen when flexible dose measurement is needed, especially for people who cannot swallow tablets easily. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this product represents the brand’s liquid ibuprofen option and may be used when a doctor wants a dose that can be adjusted by volume rather than by tablet size.

• Mild to moderate pain
• Fever
• Headache
• Toothache
• Muscle aches
• Menstrual cramps

• Shake the bottle well before each dose so the medicine is evenly mixed.
• Measure Ibugesic 100 mg/5 mL Suspension with a proper oral syringe, dosing cup, or spoon marked in mL; do not use a kitchen spoon.
• Take it with food, milk, or after a meal if it upsets your stomach.
• Follow the exact mL amount prescribed for you; do not guess the dose.
• Do not take more often or for longer than your doctor recommends.
• If using for fever or pain in a child, confirm the dose carefully with a clinician or pharmacist before each use.

Ibugesic 100 mg/5 mL Suspension provides 100 mg of ibuprofen in every 5 mL, so the total dose depends on how many mL are measured. It may be taken every 6 to 8 hours as needed, but the exact amount and schedule should be set by a doctor based on age, weight, and medical history. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount your prescriber recommends; for many adults, the usual OTC maximum is 1,200 mg per day, while higher prescription limits may only be used under medical supervision.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
