Do not give Ibuprofen (Midol) to children under 12 years old, except under the advise and supervision of a doctor.
Do not take for pain for more than 10 days unless directed by a doctor. If pain persists or gets worse, or if new symptoms occur, consult a doctor.
What should the patient do if he/she misses a dose: If the patient misses a dose, take the next dose if still needed for pain and/or fever or inflammation and the subsequent dose every 4 to 6 hours thereafter. Do not double the dose.
