Key Benefits
What It Is & How It Works
Active Ingredient
Each tablet contains Ibuprofen 100 mg, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Ibuprofen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins — chemical messengers in the body that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Children’s Motrin helps bring down your child’s temperature, eases discomfort, and calms inflammation.
