When fever and pain overtake a person, the first thing he does is run to the pharmacy for medicine. But how to choose the right drug when there are a huge number of them in the assortment? Which is better Nurofen or Ibuklin? This article will answer this question.
Comparison
Ibuklin is a medicine that contains two active substances: paracetamol and ibuprofen.
- Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic. It weakens the excitability of the thermoregulation center, resulting in a decrease in temperature;
- Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins, which cause inflammation and pain. In addition, ibuprofen stimulates the production of interferon, which helps the body cope with viruses.
Ibuklin is released in 2 forms:
- Coated tablets for adults. Contains paracetamol 325 mg, ibuprofen 400 mg.
- Ibuklin junior. Tablets, easily soluble in water, for children from 3 years of age. Contains 125 mg paracetamol and 100 mg ibuprofen.
The medicine reduces temperature, eliminates fever and pain.
What is the difference between Ibuklin and Nurofen? The difference is actually in the composition, if the first drug contains 2 substances at once, then Nurofen consists of only one, namely ibuprofen. But there is a type of drug called Nurofen Long containing the same substances as Ibuklin. It contains paracetamol 500 mg and ibuprofen 200 mg. And also Nurofen plus, consisting of ibuprofen and codeine, which is a strong pain reliever. But this is only an exception; basically all Nurofens contain only one substance.
The difference also lies in the release form; Nurofen has many more of them:
- Film-coated and effervescent tablets with a concentration of 200 to 400 mg of ibuprofen;
- Gel 5% for external use, with a concentration of 50 mg/1g of product;
- Special forms for children: suspension and rectal suppositories. Candles are prescribed from 3 months to 2 years. And suspension from 6 months to 12 years.
Ibuprofen is safer as it is prescribed from 3 months of age. Ibuklin is only allowed for children over 3 years of age, because it consists of 2 substances, each of which can have its own adverse reaction. But at the same time, it is a more effective drug.
If we compare the price, then Ibuprofen wins here, because it costs much less.
Therefore, the difference between the drugs consists of the following points:
- Compound;
- Ibuklin's efficiency is higher;
- Safety. Nurofen is a safer remedy;
- Release form, Nurofen has more of them, including gel for external use;
- Nurofen's price is lower.
Drug compatibility
In terms of their chemical composition, the drugs are compatible. But under no circumstances should Ibuklin and Nurofen be taken together at one time. This can result in an overdose of ibuprofen and also increase the risk of side effects:
- From the gastrointestinal tract: nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, ulcers and bleeding;
- Violation of the blood picture: the level of hemoglobin, platelets, leukocytes decreases;
- Allergic reactions manifest themselves in the form of skin hyperemia and an itchy rash. Less commonly, symptoms of anaphylactic shock may occur;
- Heart failure, arrhythmia, increased heart rate, hypertension;
- Difficulty breathing.
Therefore, taking the drugs at the same time is not recommended. You can take Nurofen after Ibuklin if at least 6 hours have passed. In other words, the drugs can be taken alternating.
From all of the above, we can conclude that the choice of drug depends on age, form of release, and purpose of its use. If you want to get a good therapeutic effect, it is better to use Ibuklin. If you are planning to treat a small child, then it is preferable to buy Nurofen.

Tell me what I can alternate with ibuclin. My son is 4.5 years old. Yesterday at 22.30 the temperature rose to 39.2. For the first time I gave ibuklin junior 1 tablet. The temperature dropped to 37.5 within 30 minutes, then 36.7. At 4.30 in the morning he began to shiver, his hands, feet, and nose were cold. She covered half of the bag with a blanket. The temperature was 39.2. She gave Nurofen syrup at a dose of 7.5. After 5 minutes he vomited. She gave me ibuclin again. An hour later the temperature dropped to 37.8. If the temperature rises again, what should I give now? Nurofen syrup makes him sick. Is it possible to give a paracetamol tablet or a children's Nurofen tablet. But I don’t know what dosage. The child's weight is approximately 20 kg. We are currently on vacation, so there is no trusted doctor right now.

If the temperature rises again, what should I give now? Nurofen syrup makes him sick. Previously, I alternated Nurofen syrup and Efferalgan and gave Noshpa and Suprastin at a temperature of 39 and above. But now my son can no longer drink syrup in a dosage by weight. I immediately feel sick. What can I replace the syrups with, except for ibuklin tablets.
Is it possible to give a paracetamol tablet or a children's Nurofen tablet. But I don’t know what dosage. The child's weight is approximately 20 kg. And how many noshpas can you give per day?

I almost always give my child Nurofen when he has a fever. Paracetamol-containing drugs very rarely help us. For some reason, Cefikon never lowered the temperature at all, this has already been checked more than once. Today we bought some ibuclin just in case. Now the child’s temperature is 37.5 (this is our maximum, because there were fibril spasms). An antipyretic should be given. Nurofen on the first day of illness as...
Can I give Ibuclin Junior to a child with a temperature of 1.7? Nurofen does not knock down well.
How do you lower your kids' temperature?
Girls, my daughter’s pace was 38.9. I gave her ibuclin. Previously, I gave paracetamol and nurofen in turn, but now I see that Ibuklin can be given, especially since it has been lying around for a long time and my sister praised it. I gave it somewhere at 18.30, or maybe a little earlier. And the temperature dropped. Now my daughter has fallen asleep (she has been sleeping since half 10), it’s 23.12 - the pace is rising again, already 37.8. I gave her something to drink, she was shivering. Doesn't come out from under the blanket. Sleeping...
Girls, I have Ibuclin Junior tablets lying around. It is written that he has been since he was 3 years old. My sister says that it helps Her sons a lot with fever. So she advised me, I bought it and it turned out to be from three years old... we are 2.4. Weight 15.5 kg. Can I take them? If so, what part of the tablet? I ask because Nurofen and Cefekon are lying around, I don’t want to insert suppositories, because I insert Viferon 2 times a day. What about Nurofen...
Girls, tell me, is it possible to give IBUCLIN to a one and a half year old child? The instructions say that only from 3 years. Maybe just make the dosage smaller, for example half a tablet? It’s just that Nurofen somehow doesn’t lower our temperature very well. I heard about ibuklin that it is very effective. Maybe someone gave it to their children?
Girls, tell me who gave children ibuklin up to a year? Re's temperature is 39.2, nurofen does not knock down, cefekon suppositories are knocking down 38 and then for three hours... The doctor said to give ibuclin, and the instructions say children are aged from three years... Has anyone given it up to a year, how did you react? Baby is 6 months old..
Has anyone given ibuclin to children aged 1 year? Our temperature rose, I called the doctor, she said to give Ibuklin, the instructions say for children over 3 years old! How so? We have such a problem, syrups cause vomiting, suppositories cause diarrhea! What tablets can be given for fever? The pharmacy said only syrups or suppositories! I usually give Nurofen, but I’m already tired of it ((
girls, tell me. My daughter had fever, she gave her Nurofen, the temperature dropped, but I’m afraid it will rise again at night. Is it possible to give Ibuclin Junior the following lowering temperature??? The fact is that we just turned 2 years old, and this book does not say anything about age in the contraindications. and in the application it is written that “for children from 3 years old, a single dose of 1 tablet.” well, older in age. tell,…
The doctor said today that this drug collects fever better than ibuprofen and paracetamol separately. Today, instead of them, I gave my son ibuklin junior 2 times at a temperature of 38.5, it really dropped in 40 minutes, and to 36.9, the son began to sweat after 25 minutes and the temperature began to subside. Why am I all this, I’m wondering if it’s too powerful? It seems harmful to the liver, but on the other hand...
Nurofen suppositories and syrup don’t help. The temperature remains stable. The doctor said to give Ibuclin Junior. But it’s very strong. I’m worried. Who gave it?
Girls, please advise if we can give our child Ibuclin, we are 2 years old, but since he was 3 years old, the syrup has not helped, no ibuprofen, no Nurofen
Girls. I've been sick for 2 days. Today the syrups are churned disgustingly, I give them once every 4 hours. In the evening, Nurofen brought me down from 38.8 only to 38.5. After 2.5 hours I gave ibuclin. It seems my daughter has become cooler. 2 hours have passed. 38…. What should I do?
The child is 1.5, last night the temperature rose to 38.4, he is losing his temperature very badly. Nurofen began to reduce the temperature only 3 hours after administration. Today a doctor came, listened, looked at my throat, said that everything was fine, and suggested that it was a fever in my teeth. We had never had anything like this before, 15 teeth came out absolutely painlessly. The doctor said to bring down the temperature with ibuclin, but the instructions...
To give or not? On the fourth day the temperature reached 39. Panadol suppositories, Nurofen syrup and cefekon d do not knock down. They say ibuklin knocks down well. Should I try or not?
They forgot Nurofen at grandma's, has anyone used Ibuklin Junior for a child's fever?
Who uses it to bring down the temperature? At 5 p.m. I gave her Nurofen, but the temperature was already rising. I read in the reviews that ibuclin is prohibited in all countries
Ibuklin Junior, as many write, brings down the high temperature in 15 minutes. It only brought my daughter down to 38.5 and eliminated her fever. Panpdol nurofen syrups are enough for 30 minutes and again under 40 Girls, should we rush to the hospital? ((damn sore throat
does it help??? I gave her nurofen two hours ago, it didn’t do anything for her, cefekon doesn’t help us much either. Right now I gave ibuclin after nurofen
Girls, good night. Today my son’s temperature dropped to 39.5, as the doctor wrote, Nurofen syrup and Cefekon suppositories, the temperature drops for a very long time, but the point is that after 4 hours it has now risen again, previously it helped for 6 hours. Well, here’s a question, a friend also has a child, she says give Ibuklin for children, it helps well. But I haven’t given it to you before, and I won’t give it to you without a doctor. Just tell me, you...
Has anyone given the girls ibuklin when they are one year old? On the third day, the child’s temperature is 38’7, I put cefekon, Nurofen is possible on the last day and for some reason it doesn’t bring down the temperature.
Nurofen knocks it out, but for about 4 hours. It won’t let me put on paracetamol suppositories. Or maybe ibuclin is better for children???
Separately, ibuprofen and paracetamol do not lower my son’s temperature; on the doctor’s advice, we bring down Nurofen 5 ml + cefekon 1 suppository. But the cefekon has run out, I have panadol syrup. In principle, it contains the same paracetamol as in cefekone. Can I give you 2 syrups? And what is the best dosage? Or is it better to run to the pharmacy for cefekon? The temperature begins to rise (ps. I know that these 2 drugs can be replaced...
How do you like this drug? How long does it bring down the temperature? Prescribed for my daughter. Nurofen, cefekon, panadol do not churn well.
Contraindications up to 3 years. I read the reviews, it seems to lower the temperature, but there are side effects and it damages the kidneys. I would like to hear who gave it to their children. I have had a fever for 2 days now. Nurofen, Panadol, Cefekon stopped helping
Is it only in tablets? Is it possible for a one year old? Contraindications include age up to 3 years, but the same paracetamol and ibuprofen included in its composition are found in Panadol and Nurofen, and they are given to children.
How often did you give it? How's the reaction?? Simply, neither paracetamol nor nurofen are helping us today, and the child has a purulent herpes sore throat..((
Girls, who are allergic to these drugs. How do you bring down a child’s high temperature? If Panadol and Cefekon don’t cope. I called the doctor, he said Ibuclin, I also read the instructions and there they write that it contains ibuprofen, FUCK!!! we have good doctors😣. I read about nimulid - maybe it’s possible?
My son has a fever for the second day. Ibuprofen has a daily dose of 300 mg, last night they gave me Nurofen for the first time, then Ibuclin at night, Nurofen during the day, and in between there was also paracetamol. In general, I won’t go into too much detail. The point is that the day is formally loaded at 9.30 pm on ibuprofen, but my son has been holding 39 since 4 pm, the ceficon has been knocked down by a couple of tenths, and that’s it again. At 7 o’clock it was already 39.5,…
The girls encountered this for the first time in 4 years. The child got sick, the rate before bed yesterday was 37. At night 37.9. In the afternoon I gave her a teaspoon of Nurofen and went to the doctor. The doctor is stupid, honestly. We have two pediatricians, one is normal, the other came across to us today. So, our throats are red, the temp rises to 39. The voice disappears and the cough is wet. She prescribed arbidol, mucaltin and ingalipt. How…
Body temperature is often one of the signs indicating the development of some pathological conditions. An increase in thermometer readings in most cases indicates that the human body has defended itself against the invasion of viral or bacterial infections. And in order not to disturb him, you should not lower the temperature until it reaches significant numbers (there are exceptions). In order to cope with elevated temperatures, various medicinal formulations can be used.
Paracetamol
This drug has an analgesic and antipyretic effect; it belongs to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The active substance of this medication is called paracetamol and is a derivative of phenacetin.
On sale there are tablets intended for oral consumption (two hundred and five hundred milligrams), capsules (five hundred milligrams), and special effervescent formulations used to make a solution (five hundred milligrams). You can purchase Paracetamol in the form of a solution for infusion (one milliliter contains fifteen milligrams of the active substance, and one ampoule contains five milliliters), as a children's syrup (five milliliters contains two hundred milligrams of paracetamol). The drug is also available in the form of a children's suspension (five milliliters - one hundred and twenty milligrams of the active substance), and as rectal suppositories with different dosages (from fifty to a thousand milligrams).
A single dosage of this medication can range from five hundred to a thousand milligrams for adults and adolescents over twelve years of age. In this case, the daily amount of paracetamol consumed should not exceed four grams. As for the use of this medicine in childhood, the calculation of the recommended dosage is carried out exclusively individually, in accordance with the weight of the baby. The dose can range from one hundred twenty-five to two hundred and fifty milligrams at a time. The daily amount should be distributed into four doses with an equal interval between consumption (at least four hours).
You should not use paracetamol for more than three days in a row without consulting your doctor.
The drug should not be used in case of hypersensitivity, problems with the kidneys and liver, impaired blood count, during pregnancy and lactation.
Ibuklin
This medicinal composition acts as an antipyretic and also eliminates pain and inflammatory processes. The drug contains ibuprofen and paracetamol. Its main advantage is a longer-lasting effect than from taking ibuprofen or paracetamol alone.
This composition can be purchased in two different forms, as tablets for children and for adults. Children's Ibuklin contains one hundred milligrams of ibuprofen and one hundred twenty-five milligrams of paracetamol. An adult can take four hundred milligrams of ibuprofen, as well as three hundred and twenty-five milligrams of paracetamol.
Tablets for fever with paracetamol Ibuklin should not be used for problems with the liver, disturbances in the functioning of the hematopoietic organs, hypersensitivity, or the presence of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the digestive tract (during exacerbations). You should not take Ibuklin if you are intolerant to acetylsalicylic acid, have diseases of the optic nerve, or lack an enzyme such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Contraindications also include pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Adults and adolescents over twelve years of age are prescribed one or two tablets of the medicine two to three times a day. The maximum daily dosage is six tablets. In childhood, the daily dose is calculated depending on weight. Per kilogram of body weight, you can consume no more than twenty milligrams of the drug, this amount is divided into several doses.
Nurofen
This medicine contains ibuprofen, which is a derivative derived from phenylpropionic acid. Many researchers claim that this medicinal composition also has an immunostimulating effect, due to the fact that it activates the body’s production of its own interferon.
Nurofen can be purchased as sugar-coated tablets (each containing two hundred milligrams of the substance), as well as in the form of effervescent tablets (two hundred milligrams of ibuprofen), rectal suppositories (sixty milligrams of the active ingredient) and a special children's suspension with pleasant flavors (strawberry or orange ) (five milliliters - one hundred milligrams of ibuprofen).
Tablets for fever with paracetamol Nurofen should not be taken for inflammation of the digestive tract, blood diseases, aspirin triad, hypersensitivity, hypertension, kidney and liver problems, middle ear pathology, ophthalmological diseases, in children under three months of age, during lactation and in the third trimester of pregnancy .
Patients over twelve years of age can take up to one thousand two hundred milligrams of ibuprofen per day, dividing this amount into three to four doses. The maximum single dose is four hundred milligrams. From six to twelve years old, use a maximum of nine hundred milligrams per day. For younger children, the dosage is calculated depending on weight. You can take a maximum of thirty milligrams of ibuprofen per kilogram of body weight per day.
If a high temperature of unknown etiology appears or if the temperature rises in children, consult a doctor.
Antipyretics are currently widely available on the market. Advertising promises us a miraculous cure for the flu and other colds; just take a pill or dissolve a beautiful packet of powder in water and the next day you will be provided with health and vigor. Let's figure out if this is really so and what is behind symptomatic medications for flu and colds.
First, let's immediately outline the temperature range at which it is necessary to take antipyretic drugs:
- For an adult who has caught a cold or flu, this is 38.5 degrees Celsius or higher
- For a child, pregnant women or people who cannot tolerate high temperatures, this bar can be reduced to 38 degrees or above this value
In fact, to reduce the temperature in children (and adults too), you can use a couple of simple techniques, which I call physical ways to reduce the temperature. They do not imply the use of drugs or other chemicals - pure physics, when a heated body, when moisturized, begins to give off heat well to the external environment.
So, the first thing is to wipe the patient’s body with water (not cold or icy, but just cool), the water can be first diluted in half with vodka or ordinary 6% vinegar can be added in the proportion of a tablespoon of vinegar per liter of water. Using a sponge, you can wipe the body of a feverish child or adult with these solutions. The effect, I assure you, will be stunning - minus 0.5-1 degrees on the thermometer will be recorded immediately. Although it will not be too long, who is stopping you from repeating the procedure after a while.
Secondly, at a temperature like this, the brain simply boils. Here, too, you can resort to cooling, which will lower the temperature and provide an outlet for your sore head. You can place a cloth or napkin soaked in cool water on your forehead. You don’t have to add vinegar or vodka and keep it on your head for a long time, wetting it periodically.
The above procedures must be performed not in a draft. It is better to close the balcony or window for a while, calmly wipe the patient, wait until he dries a little and put him for ventilation, having first covered him well with a blanket, or move with the patient to another room.
Third, there is no need to dress warmly or cover the patient with duvets or rugs. On the contrary, clothes should be light, easily absorb sweat, made from natural materials, and should fit loosely. The blanket should also be a standard thin one. Let normal heat exchange with the environment occur; do not “cook” the sick person under a layer of blankets and feather beds.
From the same opera, the fourth axiom is that if you have a high temperature, you should not give a person raspberries (usually they give tea with raspberry jam or a decoction of it); when eating hot food, the body warms up even more and the condition and well-being of the person with a fever can only worsen. Also, you should not steam your feet in mustard (mustard foot baths) as this also warms up your already heated body.
As a practitioner, I only advocate these methods of reducing temperature; they are very effective and only help to relieve excess temperature. Indeed, at high temperatures, a whole cascade of cellular reactions is launched in the human body, which ultimately leads to the formation of human interferon, a very valuable protector that helps destroy viruses. This is not some artificial drug supposedly containing interferon, but its real one and therefore especially valuable. For this reason, you can endure the symptoms that necessarily accompany a cold or flu.
But there are times when the temperature reaction becomes pathological, plus individual intolerance requires third-party intervention and the use of antipyretic drugs. Below we will talk about the most popular of them.
Paracetamol. This is a drug that has analgesic, antipyretic and weak anti-inflammatory effects. It acts indirectly through the centers of thermoregulation and pain. In my experience, it is a very effective medicine, it does not contain additional chemical dyes and preservatives, which is the problem with branded temperature powders, the main component of which is paracetamol - this is both, and, and. In this case, you overpay for additional components in the medicine that are not needed at all; the active ingredient is still paracetamol.
It is better to use the one in tablets (for children, suppositories are preferable) in a dosage - for adults and children over 12 years old - 500 mg once, daily dose up to 4 grams (from experience I will say do not bring it to such figures, paracetamol has a very narrow therapeutic window and toxic disorders in the liver may develop, any medicine should be taken on the recommendation and under the supervision of a doctor). Children 6-12 years old are prescribed in a dosage of 250-500 mg, 1-5 years old 120-250 mg, from 3 months. up to 1 year – 60-120 mg up to 4 times a day.
Contraindications:
- expressed
- chronic alcoholism
- hypersensitivity to paracetamol
Ibuklin. A combination drug containing +. Due to its good tolerance by most patients and a decent therapeutic effect in terms of reducing fever and getting rid of fever, I recommend this drug to patients myself. Available in tablets.
The dosage used in adults is 1 tablet 3 times a day.
Do not use for ulcers and gastritis of the gastrointestinal tract, pregnancy and breastfeeding, liver and kidney diseases, chronic alcoholism.
panadol
Panadol. A very popular drug in the past, which still produces good sales today. It comes in the usual form of film-coated tablets. Mothers are very fond of children's Panadol, which has convenient forms of release in the form of a suspension for oral administration. Although, if it’s the same paracetamol, then why pay more?
Coldrex
Coldrex. I found two forms of release: Coldrex in tablets and Kodrex HotRem - powder for preparing a solution.
The drug serves to reduce temperature, reduce pain, and also relieve nasal congestion. The chemical compounds found in its composition allow this to be done.
Children over 12 years of age are allowed to take no more than 3 sachets per day. Do not use in adults and children for more than 5 days.
It has a large number of contraindications for use:

- rectal suppositories (for children)
- syrup for children
- suppository for rectal use (suppositories)

rinzasip
Rinza And Rinzasip. The differences between both drugs are in the form of release and, to a lesser extent, in the composition of the active ingredients.
Rinza is a tablet for oral administration that eliminates the symptoms of a cold or flu (fever, pain, rhinorrhea), which includes:
Dosage – 1 tablet 3-4 times a day. The maximum dose is 4 tablets. The course of treatment is no more than 5 days.

Dosage: adults and children over 15 years old, 1 sachet 3-4 times a day, but not more than 4 sachets per day. The course of treatment, as for tablets, is no more than 5 days.
Like any compound drugs, Rinza and Rinzasip have a large number of different contraindications, which are obtained by summing up the contraindications of each chemical substance that these drugs consist of:
- liver and kidney dysfunction
- thyrotoxicosis
- diabetes mellitus
- heart disease (myocardial infarction, tachyarrhythmias)
- arterial hypertension
- angle-closure glaucoma
- prostatic hypertrophy
- chronic alcoholism
- glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
- children under 15 years old

The thoughtless use of packaged and tasty symptomatic remedies for colds and flu is already leading to negative consequences, which include sudden bleeding, poisoning, and all because people forget that behind the beautiful package there is a medicine that can also be overdosed. For example, the above combination drugs have a maximum daily dose - usually this is 3-4 sachets per day. Not 10 bags, as careless comrades like to put in themselves and their loved ones; as soon as the temperature rises, they immediately reach for the bag. Where is the body’s fight against the disease? If he gets lazy, then it’s a lost cause and some terrible complication may arise. And when, due to a complication that has arisen, an ambulance arrives on call, the “self-healers” cannot even associate these manifestations with taking the miraculous bags for fever, which significantly worsens the situation of the sick person.
It is also worth remembering that when taking a multicomponent drug, you cannot take in parallel other medications that contain the same drugs as this drug. For example, you cannot take pure and multicomponent drugs containing paracetamol together.
My opinion as a doctor is this: it is better to use monocomponent (one active ingredient) medications. Then, in the event of the development of pathological reactions, you can always understand what caused this reaction and adequately deal with the complication that has arisen. Also, if you take one drug, the body will need much less effort to break down and absorb it than symptomatic powders and tablets overloaded with preservatives, dyes and other useless substances. Energy will be useful to him in the fight against flu and colds. You should especially not use multicomponent antipyretic and symptomatic drugs in therapy in children; they can be especially harmful to their body.
Nurofen is a medicine from the category of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. With its help, it is possible to achieve an antipyretic effect, relieve pain and stop inflammation. Nurofen is used for symptomatic treatment of many pathologies. However, in some situations it is necessary to select analogues cheaper than Nurofen.
Description of the medicine
All types of Nurofen contain Ibuprofen. This active component is present in the drug in different dosages.
Thanks to this, the doctor can choose the optimal dosage form.
Thanks to the use of Nurofen, it is possible to achieve antipyretic effects, stop inflammatory processes and eliminate pain. When using the medicine in the form of a gel, all these effects appear locally.
When Nurofen is taken orally or rectally, the properties of the drug are realized in the affected tissues and internal organs. Thanks to the use of the product, it is possible to reduce temperature indicators.
The action of the substance is based on its ability to block a special enzyme - cyclooxygenase-2. This substance activates the production of prostaglandins, which provoke pain, inflammation and fever. Nurofen leads to the cessation of the production of these elements. Due to this, the unpleasant symptoms of various pathologies disappear.
Despite its high effectiveness, Nurofen has an impressive list of contraindications.
The main restrictions include the following:
Cheap analogues of Nurofen - list with prices
Despite the high effectiveness of the drug, in some cases it is necessary to choose analogues of the drug. This is required if there is intolerance to active and auxiliary elements. Also, the patient may not be satisfied with the price of the medicine. So, 20 tablets that contain 200 mg of the active substance will cost approximately 185 rubles.
Based on their composition and therapeutic effect, the following analogues of the substance are distinguished: 
- Ibuprofen - 30 tablets with a dosage of 400 mg cost 80 rubles;
- Ibuklin - 20 tablets with a dosage of 400 mg will cost 110 rubles;
- Paracetamol - 10 tablets with a dosage of 200 mg cost only 4 rubles;
- Cefekon - 10 suppositories with a dosage of 100 mg cost 40 rubles;
- Efferalgan - 16 soluble tablets cost 130 rubles.
Many parents are interested in which is the best analogue of Nurofen for children. Children should not use medications that contain aspirin. These substances can provoke the appearance of Reye's syndrome, ulcerative defects in the digestive organs, the development of aspirin-induced asthma and nosebleeds.
Also, you should not use analgin, especially injectable one. This substance can only be used after 12 years. In many countries this remedy is completely prohibited. However, sometimes products containing this substance still have to be used. This is required if other drugs are ineffective.
The most popular medications that can be used in pediatrics are Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. However, the specific substance must be selected by a pediatrician.
Nurofen or Ibuklin - which is better?
When choosing Ibuklin or Nurofen, you should take into account the composition of these drugs. Nurofen contains only one active component, while Ibuklin contains two ingredients at once - ibuprofen and paracetamol. Due to this, the medicine is classified as an analgesic-antipyretic that has a combined effect.
Both drugs have a fairly impressive list of indications and contraindications. Therefore, it is irrational to compare each point. When choosing a specific medicine, you should definitely exclude possible limitations.
Ibuklin can only be used after 12 years of age. Nurofen has a children's release form, which can be given to babies from 3 months. Therefore, it is much more often used in pediatric practice. For young children, the product is given in the form of syrup.
Both drugs have pronounced anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. They have a noticeable antipyretic effect.
However, they can have a toxic effect on the body. Therefore, the duration of use of medications should be limited.
In terms of therapeutic effect, Ibuklin has a more powerful effect. In addition, its cost is about 70 rubles lower, which is also an indisputable advantage.
Nurofen or Paracetamol - what to choose?
Many people are concerned about a fair question: Nurofen or Paracetamol - which is better? The second substance belongs to the category of anilides. The medicine contains only one active ingredient - paracetamol. This substance copes with pain and helps reduce fever.
Paracetamol was excluded from the category of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This is due to weak anti-inflammatory activity. However, Nurofen remains in this group to this day.
Paracetamol has a less extensive list of indications for use. These include the following:
- Fever that accompanies ARVI;
- Muscle pain, headaches, toothaches;
- Neuralgia;
- Pain from various injuries;
- Menstrual pain.
The indisputable advantage of the drug is less toxicity. This tablet analogue has a smaller list of contraindications and side effects.
To reduce the temperature, paracetamol can be used literally from the birth of the child, while Nurofen can be used no earlier than 3 months. In terms of the severity of the therapeutic effect, paracetamol is somewhat inferior to Nurofen. It does not have a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect and does not reduce fever and pain very well.
The choice of a specific substance depends on the clinical picture of the disease and age category. The cost of paracetamol is much lower than Nurofen. This makes the medicine accessible to all categories of the population.
Nurofen or Panadol?
When choosing Panadol or Nurofen, it is worth considering that the first remedy is considered a structural analogue of paracetamol. Therefore, there is no point in comparing these substances.
It is important to note that the instructions for using Panadol suspension indicate that it can be given to children over 3 months old. It is also worth considering that Panadol costs significantly less than Nurofen.
Nurofen or Ibuprofen - which is better?
When choosing Ibuprofen or Nurofen, it is worth considering that these products are structural analogues. This is due to the fact that their active substances are the same. The differences lie in the dosage forms and dosage. Nurofen’s arsenal includes a prolonged form containing the mark “retard” and a combination drug with codeine.
Nurofen is manufactured by a British company, while Ibuprofen is produced in Russia. That is why the cost of the second product is much lower.
Despite the low cost of Ibuprofen, many patients prefer to buy Nurofen. This is due to the opinion that imported medicines are of higher quality and are manufactured in compliance with all standards.
Your doctor should tell you which drug is best to use. It is imperative to choose the correct release form and calculate the dosage. Therefore, it is not recommended to independently select a replacement for Nurofen.
Nurofen or Cefekon?
When choosing Cefekon or Nurofen, it is worth considering the composition of these drugs. Thus, Cefekon contains paracetamol, while Nurofen is made from Ibuprofen. Cefekon is produced exclusively in the form of suppositories. There are no other dosage forms for this drug. Cefekon does not have an anti-inflammatory effect, while Nurofen does.
In terms of therapeutic effect, Nurofen is significantly superior to its analogue. It has a faster effect that lasts for a long time - up to 8 hours. The drugs have similar indications, but Nurofen is used for a larger number of pathologies.
There are certain differences in the dosages of these medications, so the required amount must be calculated by a doctor. Nurofen is produced by a British company, while Cefekon is produced in Russia. That is why the second remedy has a lower cost.
As a rule, if there is no effect from the use of Cefekon, doctors prescribe Nurofen. The substance can be given several hours after using rectal suppositories.
The undoubted advantage of Tsefekon is the possibility of use from the first month of the baby’s life. Nurofen can only be given to children from 3 months. At the same time, Nurofen has an anti-inflammatory effect, which expands the scope of its use.
Nurofen is an effective medicine that can reduce fever, eliminate pain and relieve inflammation. However, sometimes there is a need to use analogues of this medicine. To choose the best alternative to the drug, you should consult your doctor.

Is the medicine “Ibuklin Children” an antibiotic?

Ibuprofen, which is a non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drug that relieves pain symptoms, lowers temperature during fever, menstruation and reduces the intensity of inflammatory processes.

Which is better - Ibuprofen or Ibuclin?
Ibuklin is considered the most popular drug for symptomatic treatment for both adults and children. The drug is most effective, has a minimum number of contraindications and is well tolerated by the child’s body.

Plus it's cheaper. The cost of promotional tablets, capsules and suspensions is higher. It turns out the difference is noticeable.
