Formula:
The dosage of ibuprofen is typically based on body weight for children, expressed as milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). For adults, standard over-the-counter doses are generally fixed.
- Children: Recommended Single Dose (mg) = Weight (kg) × Dosage Rate (mg/kg) (e.g., 5-10 mg/kg per dose)
- Adults: Standard doses are typically 200mg to 400mg per dose.
Important: Always follow product labeling and consult a healthcare provider for precise dosage instructions, especially for infants and children, and for any underlying health conditions.
