About Artigesic Suspension

Artigesic Suspension is a suspension specially formulated for paediatric patients to provide temporary relief from mild to moderate pain and to reduce fever. It is commonly prescribed to treat discomfort from teething, toothaches, sore throats, earaches, and minor injuries, as well as to lower a high body temperature associated with colds, flu, or childhood immunisations. This medicine acts quickly to target the root causes of pain and fever, helping your child feel more comfortable during recovery.

You should use this medicine only when your child has symptoms, and it is important to keep doses spaced out consistently as directed by your healthcare provider. For short-term relief, do not use this medicine for more than a few consecutive days without medical supervision. Always try to take this medicine with food or a glass of milk, as this helps prevent mild stomach irritation. Keeping your child well-hydrated with small, frequent sips of water or clear fluids while they are unwell also supports their recovery and general well-being.

While this medicine is highly effective, some children may experience mild side effects, such as a temporary upset stomach or mild nausea. These mild symptoms usually go away on their own as the medicine processes through the body. However, you must stop using the medicine and consult a doctor immediately if you notice serious signs such as a severe skin rash, swelling of the face or mouth, difficulty breathing, or severe abdominal discomfort.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting this medicine if your child has pre-existing health conditions, such as asthma, kidney impairment, liver disorders, or if they are suffering from severe dehydration. Do not take this if your child has a known history of severe allergic reactions to similar pain relievers, active stomach ulcers, or severe heart, liver, or kidney failure.

This medicine can interact with other treatments, so it is vital not to give it alongside other medications containing similar pain-relieving ingredients, as this can lead to accidental double-dosing and serious liver damage. Additionally, it may interact with blood-thinning medications or certain medications used to treat infections. If you have questions about how this medicine behaves with other paediatric treatments, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Uses of Artigesic Suspension

Artigesic Suspension helps reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain in children. Your doctor may recommend it for the following conditions:

  • Fever reduction: Helps quickly lower high body temperatures associated with common childhood infections, colds, flu, and post-vaccination reactions.

Key Benefits

Using Artigesic Suspension as prescribed helps reduce fever and relieve pain, making your child feel more comfortable. Here are the key benefits you can expect:

  • Provides fast relief from fever and pain: Helps lower high body temperature and relieve mild to moderate pain caused by common childhood illnesses, teething, headaches, sore throat, earache, and minor injuries.
  • Supports a quicker recovery: By reducing discomfort and fever, Artigesic Suspension helps your child rest better, stay hydrated, and return to normal eating, drinking, and daily activities.
  • Easy for children to take: The oral suspension is easy to swallow and provides accurate dosing, making it suitable for infants and young children who cannot swallow tablets.

Directions for Use

How Artigesic Suspension Works

Artigesic Suspension contains Ibuprofen and Paracetamol, which work together to relieve pain and reduce fever through different mechanisms. Paracetamol acts mainly in the brain to reduce pain signals and lower body temperature. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that blocks the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. Together, these medicines provide effective relief from pain and fever while helping your child feel more comfortable during recovery.

What if I have taken an overdose of Artigesic Suspension

If your child takes more than the prescribed dose of Artigesic Suspension, seek immediate medical attention, even if they appear well.

Prompt medical treatment is essential.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Keep your child hydrated: Encourage your child to drink plenty of water, diluted clear juices, or oral rehydration solution to help prevent dehydration, especially during a fever.
  • Offer light, bland foods: If the medicine causes mild stomach upset, give foods such as crackers, toast, rice, or bananas before administering the dose.
  • Ensure adequate rest: Encourage your child to rest in a cool, quiet, and comfortable environment to support recovery.
  • Dress appropriately during fever: Dress your child in light, breathable clothing and avoid heavy blankets, as these can trap body heat and make the fever more uncomfortable.

FAQs

Artigesic Suspension is used to relieve pain.
Ibuprofen works by blocking the effect of a chemical known as prostaglandin, responsible for inducing pain and inflammation in our body. Paracetamol lowers elevated body temperature and mild pain by inhibiting the synthesis of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and promoting heat loss (through sweating).
Ibuprofen and paracetamol are not considered addictive in the same way as substances like opioids. While they can lead to dependence and withdrawal symptoms if used excessively or for prolonged periods, their potential for addiction is lower.
Yes, excessive use of Artigesic Suspension can lead to liver damage.
Artigesic Suspension is a common pain reliever, but using them safely is essential. Always follow the recommended dosage and be aware of potential side effects like stomach problems or liver damage. If you have any concerns or are taking other medications, talk to your doctor before using ibuprofen or paracetamol.
Pain relievers, particularly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and naproxen, can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. This is because they reduce the production of prostaglandins, substances that protect the lining of the stomach and intestines. When prostaglandin levels decrease, the stomach lining becomes more vulnerable to damage from stomach acid and other irritants.
To manage your child's fever, keep them hydrated by encouraging fluid intake. Dress them in light, comfortable clothes. Create a calm, cool environment. If symptoms worsen or you notice concerning signs like severe pain, difficulty breathing, or confusion, seek medical help immediately.
The time it takes for your child to feel better after using Artigesic Suspension can vary depending on several factors, such as the severity of the illness, the dosage given, and the Individual's response.
If the condition is persistent, please consult the doctor. Your doctor may give appropriate treatment based on the condition.
No, you should not adjust your child's dosage of Artigesic Suspension without consulting a healthcare professional. The appropriate dosage depends on several factors, including your child's age and weight, the severity of the illness, and other medications your child is taking.
Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight. Keep Artigesic Suspension out of the sight and reach of children.
The appropriate dosage depends on several factors, including your child's age and weight, the severity of the illness, and other medications your child is taking.
No, you should not give Artigesic Suspension routinely when your child is taking a vaccine. While these medications can help manage fever and pain associated with vaccinations, they should only be used as needed.
While Artigesic Suspension is generally safe when used correctly, there is a risk of serious side effects if not administered properly. Some potential side effects are gastrointestinal bleeding, Liver damage, Kidney problems, and Allergic reactions. It's important to follow the recommended dosage and administration instructions carefully to minimize the risk of side effects. If you notice any concerning symptoms, such as severe pain, difficulty breathing, or unusual bleeding, seek immediate medical attention.
Artigesic Suspension may cause certain side effects in your child, such as abdominal pain, headache, cold-like nose symptoms (in children), or diarrhea (in children). These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your pediatrician.
Artigesic Suspension is a combination medicine containing two drugs: Ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory effect) and Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic).
It is highly recommended to give Artigesic Suspension with food or a cup of milk. This simple step helps protect your child's stomach lining and prevents mild stomach upset. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if your child is unable to keep food down.
If your child vomits within 15 to 30 minutes of taking the medicine, do not give another dose right away, as this could lead to an accidental overdose. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist to find out when it is safe to give another dose.
You must read the labels of all other medicines very carefully. Many common cold and cough syrups contain the same active ingredients, and giving them together can lead to a dangerous overdose and liver damage. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before combining any medications.
While it is not very common, some children may experience mild drowsiness or sleepiness after taking this medicine. If your child becomes extremely drowsy, sluggish, or hard to wake up, stop giving the medicine and talk to your doctor immediately.
Some children with asthma can experience worsened breathing or asthma attacks when taking certain pain relievers. If your child has a history of asthma, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before giving them this medicine.
Always use the oral dosing syringe, cup, or spoon that comes in the product package. Avoid using standard kitchen teaspoons, as they are not accurate and can cause you to give too much or too little medicine. Talk to your pharmacist if you need help measuring the dose.
