The hospital has asked us to give libuprofen (Europrofen) to our 8 month old baby who weighs 19 lbs. How much should we give him and how often?

Hello Sir, if the libuprofen you have in your possession is concentrated at 100 mg/5ml, you could give your baby a dose varying between 2.2 ml (minimum dose) and 4.3 ml (maximum dose) every 6 to 8 hours (maximum 4 doses in a day), with food. The recommended dose for libuprofen is 5 to 10 mg/kg/dose, if the context involves significant pain or high fever, the maximum dose (4.3 ml) should be used. I hope that I am answering your question correctly, do not hesitate to contact me again for more information
