Can Ibugesic Plus Be Given For An Infant?

Brief Answer:
1 dose will not do any harm, but do not repeat it
Detailed Answer:
Hi... Greetings from XXXXXXX
Please do not worry, 1 dose will not do any harm.
Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever (like Ibugesic Plus -. a combination of Paracetamol and Ibuprofen) especially with Paracetamol.
If you can get back to me with the current weight of the baby, I will suggest you the appropriate formulation and dose of Paracetamol for pain relief and fever.
