Children’s Motrin Suspension should be taken with food or milk to reduce the risk of stomach upset. Shake the bottle well before each use. Measure the suspension using the provided dosing syringe, dosing cup, or measuring spoon. Do not use a household spoon because it may not give the correct amount.

What other drugs can affect Children’s Motrin’s effectiveness?
Before taking Children’s Motrin Suspension, tell your doctor or pharmacist about all of your kid’s medical conditions, allergies, and all the drugs, vitamins, or herbal supplements your kid is taking.
