About Brufen Junior Orange

Brufen Junior Orange belongs to the group of medications called NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) primarily used to relieve mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever in adults and paediatrics above 6 months of age. It helps to treat the conditions such as menstrual cramps, headache, neuralgia (nerve-related pain), migraine, back pain, dental pain, swelling and stiffness in joints and muscles, cold, and flu symptoms.
 
Brufen Junior Orange contains 'Ibuprofen' which works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in the body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical prostaglandins. These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking COX enzymes' effect, lesser prostaglandins are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever. 
 
Take Brufen Junior Orange as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Brufen Junior Orange for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as indigestion, diarrhoea, constipation, flatulence (gas), general weakness, and dizziness. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently. 
 
Brufen Junior Orange may increase the chances of stomach ulcers, bleeding and the risk of heart attack or stroke. Avoid or limit the intake of alcohol while taking Brufen Junior Orange. Consult your doctor before taking Brufen Junior Orange if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe Brufen Junior Orange only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Brufen Junior Orange may cause drowsiness, so drive with caution. Do not take Brufen Junior Orange for more than 10 days unless prescribed by your doctor. If your condition does not improve even after taking Brufen Junior Orange for 10 days, please consult your doctor.
