Melt Tabs

Updated

Are there any ibuprofen tablets that melt in your mouth? My 14 son still can't swallow pills!

An option you might consider is Junior Strength Ibuprofen - chewable grape flavor.

Basically a Junior Strength is 100 mg, whereas the adult strength is 200 mg. So you would just up the dosage of children's to match what the adult dosage would be in milligrams (basically 2 to 1).




Advil - Junior Strength Ibuprofen, 100 mg, Grape Chewable Tablets


Good Luck!

Both of the suggestions provided are good ideas you could try. There are also liquid formulations available for children, they are also just lower dosages, so you'd need to adjust accordingly.

The FDA lists the typical Ibuprofen side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and increased risk of bleeding.

Is there anything I can help with?
