    General Information

    Children's Motrin Cold (suspension form) has recently been approved by the FDA for treatment of common cold symptoms, including congestion, aches and pains, fever, headache, and sore throat. This product's active ingredients are ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine HCl, and it will be available for over-the-counter purchase. Children's Motrin is produced by McNeil Consumer Products Company, which is a member of the Johnson & Johnson company group.

    Side Effects

    Ibuprofen has been known to produce a severe allergic reaction. Some of the possible allergic effects are listed below:

    • Hives
    • Facial swelling
    • Asthma (wheezing)
    • Shock

    Other possible side effects of ibuprofen include the following:

    • Muscle cramps, numbness, or tingling
    • Ulcers in the mouth
    • Fluid retention
    • Dry mouth
    • Dizziness or headache

    This product should not be used if the child has had a prior allergic reaction to any other pain reliever/ fever reducer.

    Mechanism of Action

    Ibuprofen acts as an analgesic, and produces anti-pyretic (fever-reducing) and anti-inflammatory effects. It belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) class of drugs, and acts by reducing levels of prostaglandins in the body.

    Pseudoephedrine acts as a decongestant, and is classified as an indirect sympathomimetic amine.
