lfran Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi all. We are on vacation and DS12 is having fun but also a LOT of tics and/or OCD. I've never tried the ibuprofen route before. Can someone give me recommended dosages and timing for 105 pound kid? Internet access is spotty right now. I'd love any comments. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmom Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Normal adult dosing- normally two tablets, 3x per day. The effect is cumulative, so don't miss a dose. Wean off after 5 - 7 days. When PANDAS is just starting to flare, we have seen this be very helpful- when already in midst of a flare not so much. Give it a try, it may at least take the edge off...

lfran Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Smarty, I cleared some space. Can you try again? I was also wondering if anyone gave 600 mg once in a while to adult sized kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowPow Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I do give 600mg to my teens every so often. I use this dose for pans and other, more common advil uses (headaches, knee pain, menstrual cramps). These kids are over 160lbs, post puberty , ages 15 &up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dedee Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I always give 600mg to my 14 year old. He is 5'9" and weighs 150ish. For my 10 year old I give 400mg, she weighs about 75lbs. This is the dose our LLMD told us. We give it every 6 hours. Dedee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DsMom Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 My DS13 is 6'2" 150, he gets 600mg 3x day (every 6 hours), now for 6 months. I hate it but its the only thing I've found that helps, even though its only a 'tiny' help...(Dr.T suggested the dose). Hope it helps your DS.
