For fever, Brufen Junior is typically given every 6-8 hours, with a maximum of 3 doses in 24 hours. It is best administered with or after food to prevent stomach discomfort. Monitor your child’s temperature regularly and avoid exceeding the prescribed dose. Always consult your doctor for precise dosing instructions and guidance. Ensure at least 6-8 hours between doses. For accurate guidance, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.
