Adults and children older than 12 years may take non-prescription Ibuf P every 4 to 6 hours. Children and infants may be given Ibuf P every 6 to 8 hours. It is important to take Ibuf P with food or milk so as to prevent stomach upset. If you are taking Ibuf P every day, remember to take it at the same time. Ibuf P is also available in combination with other drugs for treating cold and cough. If you have prescribed a combination containing Ibuf P, do not take any non-prescription drug containing Ibuf P as it might cause overdosage. Shake the drops and suspensions well before use.

Yes, Ibuf P can cause bleeding problems, ulcers, and perforation in stomach and intestine. These complications might develop during any phase of the treatment without warning symptoms. The risk may be aggravated for people who consume NSAIDs for a long period of time, who are elderly, who have poor health and who drink alcohol while taking Ibuf P. It is important that you talk to your doctor if you ever had ulcers or any kind of bleeding disorders. Talk to your doctor immediately if you start developing symptoms like vomiting with blood, bloody stools, heartburn, and stomach pain
