Product Overview
About Ibuprofen Gen.Orph
Ibuprofen Gen.Orph is a medicine that has been used since the 1960s as a painkiller and an anti-inflammatory medicine.
What it is used for
Treatment with Ibuprofen Gen.Orph should only be carried out in a neonatal intensive care unit under the supervision of an experienced neonatologist (a doctor specialising in newborn babies).
How it is used
Ibuprofen Gen.Orph is given as three injections into a vein at 24-hour intervals. Each injection lasts 15 minutes. The first injection is given when the baby is at least six hours old. If the ductus arteriosus has not closed by 48 hours after the final injection, or if it re-opens, a second course of three doses of Ibuprofen Gen.Orph may be given. If the condition is unchanged after the second course of therapy, surgery may be necessary. Ibuprofen Gen.Orph should not be used before there is proof that the baby has patent ductus arteriosus.
How it works
The active substance in Ibuprofen Gen.Orph, ibuprofen, works by reducing the level of chemical messengers called prostaglandins within cells. As prostaglandins are also involved in keeping the ductus arteriosus open after birth, Ibuprofen Gen.Orph is thought to work by reducing the levels of prostaglandins, allowing this blood vessel to close.
