Introducing Nurofen for Children

Nurofen - who are we?

Like so many mums and dads, you probably recognise the famous  Nurofen for Children target. You might also know that Nurofen is the number one selling brand in adult oral pain-relief. But who exactly are we?

The inventors of ibuprofen

Nurofen and  Nurofen for Children are made by Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Ltd. It was in the 1960s that 3 scientists from Boots developed  ibuprofen – the active ingredient in Nurofen and Nurofen for Children.

At first  ibuprofen was a prescription-only medicine. But it gained a reputation as an effective pain-reliever and in 1983 it was approved as an over-the-counter solution. Nurofen for adults was launched in August of that year.

A first for children

After the success of Nurofen we realised something was missing. Many parents liked Nurofen for adults and trusted it. But they couldn’t give it to their children. So after listening to their needs and concerns, we developed the very first ibuprofen-based pain-relief for babies and children. It was launched as  Nurofen for Children in 1998.

Leaders in innovation

We’ve been dedicated to constant and never-ending improvement since the launch of Nurofen for Children. We talk to mums and dads like you. We find out what you want for your children and what you’d like us to improve. And then, most importantly, we deliver.

For instance, we understand that getting your child to take medicine can be a battle – if it doesn’t taste right it probably won’t go down! That’s why we’ve recently launched Nurofen for Children Strawberry.
 
And that’s not all. We’ve helped make it even easier to give your child the correct dose – instead of a spoon, you’ll find an easy-dosing syringe with every bottle of Nurofen for Children.

What does the future hold?

More innovation. More needs met. More pain soothed. More happy children. It’s what we’re working towards every day. Discover more about our products, including Nurofen for Children Strawberry.
